Cherry Stella - 10Ltr Potted Tree
BrandMarshalls Garden
Description
Cherry Stella is a brilliant self-fertile variety, it is easy to grow and is very productive. The fruits are very large, dark red and exceptionally juicy and sweet with the typical sweet cherry flavour.
If you have only ever had cherries from a market stall or from the supermarket then you will be very pleased with the delicious flavour of fresh Stella cherries eaten straight from you tree.
This variety was one of the first of the modern self-fertile cherry types, introduced in the UK from Canada in the 1970s. Before this point the only way to grow cherries at your home was to plant two different varieties and dealing with the complications of cherry cross-pollination.
As these cherries are both self-fertile and also have very good flavour, this variety has very quickly become popular for being the ideal garden cherry tree. It can be grown very easily on its own.
There are a number of different self-fertile cherry varieties, but if you are looking to grow just one cherry tree that Stella is the variety for you.
It is actually a very good pollinator for other cherries including all of the traditional English cherries (many of these are not self-fertile and require complicated steps for pollination).
It is a good first choice if you want to add a number of cherry trees to you garden or orchard at a later date.

We may prune your tree before it arrives to your door. We do this to encourage your tree to branch freely which makes them better looking and more productive.
During summer delivery, our plants may exhibit signs of nature's hustle and bustle on their leaves. Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.
We try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.
