Cherry ‘Stella’

‘Stella’ is an exceptional, self-fertile, sweet cherry, which typically produces a bumper crop of large, dark red fruits, which can be eaten straight from the tree in midsummer. A vigorous grower, it is initially quite upright in habit, but it will soon start to spread out as it matures – and it’s noted for its ability to start cropping at a young age (often within 2-3 years after planting). It makes a good pollinator for other cherries, and its pretty white flowers put on a gorgeous display in spring. All in all it’s a top choice for either the kitchen or ornamental garden.
