Planting a Stella sweet cherry tree in a garden offers several advantages and benefits:
Fruit Production: Stella sweet cherry trees yield reliable crops of large, sweet, dark red cherries. They are known for producing good quantities of high-quality fruit, which can be enjoyed fresh or used in various culinary applications like baking, preserves, or desserts.
Flavor and Quality: The cherries from a Stella tree are often praised for their pleasing flavor. Their quality makes them an excellent choice for those who enjoy fresh, flavorful fruits.
Mid to Late Season Harvest: Stella cherries ripen in the mid to late season, offering a supply of fresh fruit later in the cherry season, extending the enjoyment of cherries through the summer.
Self-Fertile with Increased Yield: While self-fertile, planting another cherry variety nearby can maximize the yield, ensuring a more abundant crop of cherries.
Manageable Size: When grown on Colt rootstock, Stella cherry trees can reach a manageable height of 8-12 feet if unpruned, but they can easily be kept at a height of 6-8 feet with proper pruning. This makes them suitable for smaller gardens or spaces where space is limited.
Beneficial for Wildlife: Stella cherry trees are recommended by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) as an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects due to their flowers. Additionally, the flowers can attract moths and other night-flying insects, which in turn may draw bats to the garden, contributing to the ecosystem and natural pest control.
In summary, planting a Stella sweet cherry tree not only provides a delicious harvest of cherries but also contributes to the garden ecosystem by attracting beneficial insects and potentially encouraging bats, making it a valuable addition for both fruit production and supporting local wildlife.
