Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Stella Cherry Tree
The Stella cherry tree (Prunus avium 'Stella') is a self-fertile cultivar, meaning it is capable of setting fruit on its own without needing a pollinator tree nearby. However, planting multiple cherry trees can increase the overall yield and quality of fruit.
If you do decide to plant another cherry tree alongside your Stella cherry, make sure it blooms at the same time to ensure proper pollination. Stella cherry trees are most commonly pollinated by other sweet cherry cultivars, such as Bing, Rainier, and Lapins.
Pollination occurs when bees and other pollinators visit the flowers of the cherry tree. The pollen sticks to the bee's body as it moves from flower to flower, transferring the male reproductive cells (pollen) to the female reproductive cells (ovules) of the tree's flowers. Once pollination occurs, the fertilized ovules develop into cherries.
It's important to note that during bloom time, avoid using insecticides and fungicides that can harm pollinators, as this can negatively affect the pollination process and decrease fruit yield.
