Fruit Trees

Stella Cherry Tree

"The Stella cherry tree is very similar to its parent tree, the Lambert cherry. Stella cherry trees are self-fertile, and will begin to bear fruit at a very young age. The harvest will, however, be later in the year than many other types of cherry. The large, richly flavored sweet cherries are nearly black in color. This is an excellent cherry for eating fresh, and is resistant to cracking. The trees will eventually reach fifteen to sixteen feet in height. The Stella cherry will pollinate a Bing cherry tree, except in mild winter climates. Birds are also a big fan of the Stella cherry tree."

To encourage new flowers to open, pinch out topmost buds and deadhead spend flowers. This plant requires intense sunlight and a rich soil to grow best. They should, however, be kept in a cooler location, as extreme heat can damage the plants. They are most commonly grown in flowerbeds and borders.
