Stella Cherry Tree Five Gallon Container
Stella is a great cherry ! If space is at a premium, and you only have room for one cherry tree, than Stella is the one for you. It is self fertile, and will also pollinate other sweet cherries. The fruit that you will harvest from your Stella cherry will be large, dark red, and nearly black. The cherries are firm, sweet, dark red, with flesh that has good flavor and texture, also resistant to cracking. This cherry variety bears at a young age, so not a long wait for fresh cherries picked right from your own tree. The tree eventually reaches 10 to 15 feet tall or easily clip to shape. Watch for birds. Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden. Tree about 3 to 4 feet tall, new planting.
