The Prunus avium 'Stella', commonly known as the Stella Cherry Tree, is one of the most popular sweet cherries for UK gardens. Bred in Canada, it was the first reliably self-fertile sweet cherry, making it a breakthrough variety for home growers. Stella produces heavy crops of large, glossy red cherries with rich, sweet flavour - perfect for eating fresh, baking, or preserving. With its compact growth, stunning spring blossom, and reliable yields, itโs an excellent choice for both small gardens and orchards.
