Stella Cherry (Prunus avium ‘Stella’)

The Stella cherry tree is a popular, self-pollinating sweet cherry variety. It is known for producing abundant crops of large, sweet, dark red fruit in mid-summer. The large cherries have a firm texture, rich flavor, and a deep red, almost black, color when ripe. They are versatile and perfect for fresh eating, baking, canning, and freezing.
