Stella is the queen of cherries with its bodacious blooms and the most highly rated fruit available on the market today. Plus, you only need a single tree to produce juicy cherries since no cross-pollinating partner is needed to bear fruit—so it saves space and money. These cherries are unbelievably juicy. If I could plant only one Cherry Tree, Stella would be it.

The Stella Cherry Tree is one of the finest cherry trees available, and its beautiful blossoms, vibrant foliage and delicious fruit top the list of this tree’s many attributes.

Stella Cherries are among the first trees trumpeting in the arrival of spring with their gorgeous, hot-pink blossoms that are showy and long-lasting. This Cherry Tree is tailor-made to be the showpiece of your outdoor living area.

If gardening space is limited, you don’t need a lot of real estate for a Stella Cherry Tree. Unlike most other Cherry Trees that require two to bear fruit, Stella is a self-pollinator so you only need a single tree to have bushels of your own juicy cherries every season.

Around mid-July your cherries will be purple, plump and ready for picking. Stella Cherries are firm, succulent and sweet with a smooth skin that’s resistant to cracking. If supermarket cherries are all you’ve ever known, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the flavor of Stella cherries picked fresh from your home garden.

Just think of the scrumptious cherry muffins, pies and cobblers you’ll be baking with your very own harvested fruit. You can cook up batches of gourmet cherry preserves for special occasions or to give as gifts. Fresh cherry juice straight from your press makes a delicious afternoon treat on a warm summer day. Wonderful as a healthy and tasty snack right off the tree, Stella Cherries store and freeze marvelously well.

Maturing to heights of just 12-15 feet, this semi-compact tree is versatile enough for smaller orchards while producing a generous crop that’s safely harvested without requiring that perilous climb up a dangerous ladder.

Stella Cherry Tree bears fruit at a young age, so you won’t have to wait long for your first harvest. At our nursery, we devote an extra year to growing and pruning our trees, ensuring that you take delivery of a well-branched, healthy specimen guaranteed to give you many years of production and enjoyment.

If you’re looking for a second tree to act a good pollinator, Stella is a good partner for other cherry trees as well, particularly if you lack for garden space.

With produce and gas prices rising, consider the money saving benefits of having this tree in your backyard. You can grow your own cherries without the use of pesky pesticides, so you know exactly what you and your family are eating without all the unknown factors presented in imported foods.

It's Easy to Plant your Stella Cherry Tree
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Stella Cherry Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Stella Cherry Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Stella Cherry Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
