Cherry : Stella
Crops in : Mid July to August
Description
Britain's best known dessert cherry, bred in Canada and reliably produces firm, dark red flesh fruits with the sweetest flavour.
As Cherry Stella is self fertile, it is ideal for growing in small gardens or in containers on a sunny patio.
Ready to harvest from Mid July to August.
Unlike traditional cherry trees the modern 'Gisela 6' rootstock has meant that varieties are these days very productive with good fruit size, but with compact growth so that it can be grown in a small space, either free standing or trained against a wall or fence or planted in containers on the patio. Cherries make an attractive tree both in flower or when laden with fruit.
Growing Instructions
When growing cherries on the patio, make sure you plant into large 60cm (24 inch) diameter containers filled with a soil based John Innes No 3 compost, as this will give the roots room to grow and your containers stability.
