The Stella Cherry tree or Prunus avium Stella is a variety of cherry tree prized for its ability to produce high quality fruit, known for its self-fertile nature, it does not require a pollinating variety to produce fruit, although such a presence can improve fruiting. This self-fertility makes Stella an excellent choice for small gardens when space can only accommodate a single tree and still guarantee a bountiful harvest.
With a mature height of 3 to 4 meters and a similar width, the Stella Cherry tree is a medium-sized fruit tree that can adapt to a variety of planting spaces. Flowering occurs in mid-spring, offering an abundance of fragrant white flowers, which are not only a visual spectacle, but also a source of nectar for pollinators.
The fruits of the Stella Cherry tree are very large, dark red, heart-shaped cherries with a sweet taste and firm texture, making them ideal for fresh consumption, canning or making jams and jellies. Harvest is in late July, when the fruits are fully ripe. It can produce up to 50 kg of fruit per year once mature. Although the Stella Cherry tree is self-fertile, the presence of other cherry varieties can improve pollination and potentially increase the yield of the crop. It is itself an excellent pollinator for all other cherry trees. For successful cultivation, the Stella cherry tree prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil and full sun exposure.
Prunus avium Stella requires, at planting and regularly the first year, regular watering during dry periods and balanced fertilization in early spring. It is disease resistant. Pruning established trees should be done after the fruit has been harvested in the summer, removing dead, weak or unneeded branches.
For gardeners looking to maximise their harvest, tricks such as fruit thinning can be beneficial. This involves removing some fruit when they are small to allow others to fully develop. Additionally, the use of netting can help protect cherries from voracious birds.
In conclusion, the Stella Cherry tree is an attractive and productive addition to any garden or orchard, providing not only a beautiful spring bloom, but also a generous harvest of delicious cherries each summer. With proper care, the Stella Cherry tree will reward the gardener with an abundance of fruit for years to come.
