Stella Cherry – Prunus avium ‘Stella’ Live Fruit Tree | 2–3 Feet Tall | Ships in 3 Gallon Pot Self-Fertile Sweet Cherry | Compact Size | Award-Winning Variety

Enjoy sweet, homegrown cherries with this 2–3 foot tall Stella Cherry tree, shipped in a 3-gallon pot and ready to plant. Developed in British Columbia, Canada, Stella was the first named self-fertile sweet cherry variety and has earned the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Stella produces dark red, juicy cherries with excellent sweetness. The fruit resists splitting and cracking, making it a reliable choice for home gardeners. In spring, the tree is covered in beautiful white blossoms before setting fruit.

Its naturally smaller stature makes it perfect for compact gardens, and because it is self-pollinating, you only need one tree for a productive harvest. Trees may begin fruiting in as little as 1–4 years under proper growing conditions.
