There is a fruiting ‘Stella’ cherry in the yard is now in its 4th year. It has actually been trimmed over a couple of years at different times, to develop an open flower holder shape with fairly also limbs. Now it’s time to concentrate on fruit!
Cherries have succinct, hollow stems which are vulnerable to diseases, so make sure to use sharp devices as well as make an angled cut over the bud.
