Plant Description: Compact Stella Cherry Tree is a unique, self-fertile Cherry that should grow to only about 10-12 ft. in height. Compact Stella begins bearing within a year or two after planting and bears large, tasty, almost black fruit. Colt is considered a semi-dwarf rootstock which produces trees about 80% of standard size. Colt is adapted to most soils and is hardy, vigorous, productive, and forms a well-branched tree. As with all “self-fertile” stone fruits you should still plant 1 or more other types for increased pollination and fruit production. Hardy to minus 20° F. or below. Height: 10-12ft Watering Needs: moderate Sun Needs: 1/2 day to full sun Soil Needs: well-drained soil Bloom Time: early April Ripening Time: July Bearing Age: 2-3 years after planting
