Cherry, Stella is a popular variety of sweet cherry that is known for its juicy and delicious fruits. This self-fertile variety is easy to grow and is a favorite among home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
The best position for planting Stella cherry trees is in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have a pH level of around 6.0 to 7.0. Cherry trees should be planted during the dormant season, which is typically between late autumn and early spring.
Stella cherry trees typically take around 2-5 years from planting to fruiting, depending on the growing conditions. This variety produces large-sized fruits that are ready to harvest in late July to early August.
The tree itself can grow up to 3-4 meters tall and spread out to a width of around 2-3 meters. To encourage healthy growth and fruiting, Stella cherry trees should be fed regularly with a balanced fertilizer, preferably every spring.
Stella cherry trees are self-fertile, meaning they do not require another variety of cherry tree for pollination. However, planting multiple varieties of cherry trees in the same area can increase the likelihood of successful pollination and a larger harvest.
Overall, Stella is a delicious and reliable variety of sweet cherry that produces high-quality fruits. It is a great choice for home gardeners and orchard growers, and is sure to delight cherry lovers of all ages.
