Prunus avium 'Stella'

Stella is a black, firm, juicy, heart-shaped cherry from Canada. Because Stella is self-fertile, it makes an ideal selection for a backyard grower without space for two sweet cherry trees.

The tree is productive and the fruit is of excellent quality. Stella is moderately resistant to bacterial canker. Chill hours are hard to confirm - some resources say as low as  400 hours below 45F to successfully produce fruit, and others say 700-800.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • What variety of cherry can I grow successfully in north west Florida

    Prunus avium, the sweet cherry, doesn't grow well in Florida due to the high humidity and regular heavy rains which invite disease and will destroy fruit crops.

  • Will Stella pollinate bing

    Yes they cross pollinate fine

  • Will Stella pollinate Rainier?

    Yes they are compatible.

  • Can you ship to Washington state

    Yes these can be shipped to WA state.

  • Can I plant dwarf rootstock in a big pot?

    For a time yes, but not for it's whole life if you plan to harvest cherries for many years. A mini-dwarf can survive in a large container much longer.

  • What color are the blooms?

    White!

  • Are your Stella cherry trees, mature and fruiting trees?

    Our trees are 3 years old when shipped, near to blooming and fruiting age, especially on the Gisela series of rootstocks.
