cherry stella dark red

Prunus Avium ‘Stella’

Stella is a medium sized sweet dark red cherry tree cultivar. The tree produces an abundance of sweet-scented white flowers in mid spring followed by heart shaped dark cherries in early to midsummer. Their sweet, rich flavor make them excellent for eating fresh, canning, and preserving. This is a very popular, award-winning, cultivar.

A great feature of Stella is that although it is self-fertile and self-pollinating, it makes an excellent pollinator for almost any other variety.
