Stella Cherry Tree Description

The Stella Cherry tree is a highly regarded, self-fertile variety, making it an excellent choice for home gardens as it doesn’t require a second tree for pollination. Known for its sweet, juicy, dark red cherries, the Stella produces a generous crop from mid to late summer, typically from July. The fruit is perfect for eating fresh or using in a range of culinary dishes such as desserts, jams, and sauces.

Pruning Advice

Pruning should be done in late summer after fruiting to avoid diseases like silver leaf. Focus on thinning out any crowded branches to allow better airflow and light penetration, and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Stella requires only light pruning to maintain a healthy shape and promote good fruit production.

Further Information

Self-Fertile: Unlike many cherry varieties, Stella does not require a pollination partner, which makes it more reliable for home gardeners.

Sweet, Juicy Fruit: Stella cherries are prized for their sweetness and flavour, perfect for fresh eating or making preserves and desserts.

Ornamental Value: In spring, the tree produces a stunning display of white blossoms, attracting pollinators such as bees, which enhance the biodiversity of your garden.

Compact Size: The relatively small size of the Stella Cherry tree makes it suitable for gardens of all sizes, including smaller urban spaces.

Ease of Care: Stella is a hardy and low-maintenance tree, requiring only minimal pruning and care, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
