Planting & Care Guide (Potted Trees):
Our trees are delivered potted in 7.5-litre containers, meaning they can be planted year-round (avoiding frozen or waterlogged ground). As they are already growing in soil, there’s minimal transplant shock, and they’ll establish quickly in your garden.
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil
Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and just as deep
Remove the tree from the pot and gently tease out any circling roots
Place in the hole so the graft union sits just above soil level
Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly
Stake if necessary, especially in windy areas
Mulch around the base (but not against the trunk) to retain moisture
Water regularly during the first growing season; prune lightly in winter to shape
With proper care, your Stella Cherry Tree on Colt rootstock will thrive and reward you with delicious homegrown cherries for years to come.
