12L Stella Cherry Tree 1.5m

A cherry tree that settles in with quiet confidence

The Stella Cherry Tree is chosen for its reliability as much as its beauty. A well-balanced tree that brings blossom in spring and sweet fruit in summer, it offers a steady, rewarding presence in the garden year after year.

Planted with intention, it quickly becomes part of the rhythm of the space.

Who this tree is for

This is a tree for those looking for something dependable and well-suited to UK growing conditions. It works comfortably in gardens or larger patio settings, offering both ornamental value and a reliable crop.

It is just as naturally planted for your own space as it is chosen for a meaningful occasion. A tree that brings both structure and reward over time.

Choosing the right rootstock

This tree is available in two rootstock options. The rootstock controls how large the tree will grow and how quickly it establishes, so choosing the right one depends on the space you have and how you want the tree to fit into it.

• Gisela 5® (Dwarfing) – A more compact option, ideal for smaller gardens or growing in a large container. Easier to manage and quicker to start fruiting, making it a good choice if you want earlier results and a tree that stays within reach.
• Colt (Semi-vigorous) – A larger, more traditional tree suited to planting in the ground. It offers stronger growth over time and can produce heavier crops, making it a good option where space allows.

If you are unsure, Gisela 5® tends to suit most modern gardens, while Colt is better for those with room to let the tree develop more fully.

A reliable choice for fruit and blossom

The Stella variety is well known for being self-fertile, making it a straightforward and dependable option. In spring, soft white blossom appears across the branches, followed by dark red cherries as summer develops.

The fruit is sweet and satisfying, while the tree itself maintains a balanced, manageable form as it grows.

Delivery and ordering

Each tree is prepared to order by our specialist growers and typically dispatched within 7 days. You can also select a future delivery date to suit your plans.

Due to its size and nature, this tree does not arrive with traditional gift wrap, but a personal message can be included with your order, often all that is needed when the tree itself carries such meaning.

Planting and care

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil to help the tree establish well. It can be grown in the ground or in a large container, depending on your space.

Arriving already established, it is ready to settle into its new home, supported by our MyTree™ guidance to help it grow with confidence.
