Cherry 'Stella'

Britain's best known dessert cherry that reliably produces firm, dark red fleshed fruits with the sweetest flavour, that can be harvested from mid July to August. A Canadian bred variety, Cherry ‘Stella’ makes an attractive tree both in flower or when laden with fruit.

Grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock, to produce a compact, productive cherry tree with good sized fruits. This cherry is well suited to growing in small spaces and 60cm (2’) diameter containers, or trained against a wall. ‘Stella’ is self-fertile and therefore does not require a pollination companion. Height and spread: 2.5m (8’) Rootstock: Gisella 6.

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.
