The Prunus avium ‘Stella’ Cherry Tree or Sweet Cherry ‘Stella’ is a self-fertile tree that produces a crop of delicious, high-quality fruit. It is known for its scrumptious, sweetly flavoured fruit which can be enjoyed straight from the tree.
In addition to its wonderful fruit, this cherry tree has a mass of delightful, white flowers that almost entirely cover the branches in spring. These blooms are also an excellent way to attract bees and other pollinators into your garden. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have added it to their Plants for Pollinators Collection.
This magnificent tree will bring welcome colour and interest to a range of garden spaces, from smaller kitchen gardens, using the Gisela rootstock, to larger wildlife gardens using the Colt rootstock.
The Prunus avium ‘Stella’ Cherry Tree is known for its reliable and consistently healthy growth, making it a great low-maintenance choice. This easy-going nature has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
The ‘Stella’ Cherry Tree is available on different rootstocks to suit a variety of gardens. The rootstock controls the rate of growth so you can choose one most suited to the area you wish to plant in. The rootstock also ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots.
Gisela is a semi-dwarfing rootstock that is suitable for smaller gardens. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 2.5m (8ft) after 10 years. Trees grafted onto Gisela tend to have better disease resistance and the ability to grow in a range of environments.
Colt is a semi-vigorous rootstock that is suitable for larger gardens where space is not an issue. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 3.5m (11ft) after 10 years. Trees grafted onto Colt also benefit from better drought resistance and improved resilience to disease.
