Latin: Prunus Avium Stella
Swedish: Sötkörsbär Stella på GiSeLa stam
English: Cherry Stella Gisela graft
We actually purchased some cherry tree via some mail-order firm together with quite a few other plants some year ago, but as everything else we purchased there, it was crap. Tip: keep away from Bakker. :O( Or really, it was mostly a dry poking device to start with. We spent a lot of time to create a neat raised bed for it, but it did not help at all. It did not even have any developed root system at all by then. Not sure what the name was but I think it was Cordia. Here is some proof:
Not very decorative, I would say... So after one year, some month ago, we actually took the big step and threw it away.
But cherries we need, or rather I do as Janne is allergic to them.
So some more research showed that cherries can become very large, which indeed some of the neighbor trees really prove. In all directions indeed. As I want to be able to pick cherries without a lot of fuzz and as there is not so much space in front of the house for a large tree, we wanted a kind that did not grow so much. It turned out that cherries grafted on Gisela stem do not grow as much as the others. Stella was a self-fertile sort furthermore so the choice was nearly given.
Purchased it last Sunday 29/5-2011 at Trädgårstorget in Linköping. It is an E-plant so we hope for it to be healthy.
Height: Stem 80cm, top point: 160cm (6/6-2011)
So now there it stands, in the old raised bed. At least, planting it went quick this time.
