Self Pollinating Sweet Cherry Tree
- Black Red heart shaped Sweet Fruit
- Fruit Resists Splitting
- Upright Compact habit
- Self-Fruitful
The Stella Cherry Tree is a compact, self-fruitful tree which produces an abundance of heart shaped, shiny, black red fruit with red flesh. Its tight, upright character makes it an idea choice for the home garden.
Red-pink blooms emerge in the early spring to be followed midseason by clusters of shiny, red black fruit on a compact tree covered in bright green foliage. You can use the Stella as a single specimen or create a home orchard with 2 or more.
The Stella produces cherries that are especially sweet, plump and firm. They resist the cracking that you see with some cherry varieties and produce well, so you'll have lots of cherries to eat and share.
Stella cherries are excellent when eaten fresh, baked into pies, made into jellies and preserves, and various other dishes. They also store and freeze well.
The Stella Cherry tree is self-fruitful, but is an excellent pollinator to other cherry trees as well.
They are precocious, which means they bear fruit at a young age, so you won't have long to wait for your first harvest. Even your wildlife will thank you for adding one to their habitat... although you may have to fight the birds from time-to-time for your harvest. Stella's compact habit makes it easy to maintain the tree's height for making bird netting a breeze. Order one for your garden today!
