Sweet Cherry 'Stella' Bare Root Tree, 1.2-1.4m Tall, Grow Your Own Fruit UK Gardens, Bare Root Cherry Tree for Gardens

Well packaged, although just left at the front door as usual by the courier (despite the instruction to leave at the back porch) so it blew over and a branch broke off. No matter though as I left for 2 days in a bucket of water before putting it in a pot of normal Compost and a month or 2 later it's thriving, plenty of new growth and lots of leaves. Kept making sure it had enough water. I'm assuming I won't see any cherries this year as it was planted in spring but after most other similar trees had already flowered, however next year it should be well established and produce fruit. Its cheap, fast growing and simple to do. Probably going to leave it potted.

I’m always prepared for plants,shrubs, or trees bought online to arrive crushed, broken, or dead, but I recieved my cherry tree in perfect condition, well packed in a really long cardboard box, and the tree unharmed, covered in tiny leaf buds. I soaked for about 8 hours and planted it, then the next day, I ordered another one. I recieved both trees in the same manner, no damage to box or tree, and lovely quick delivery too. One tree is in the ground, the other is in a cut down old black dustbin I made drainage holes in. Both trees have leaves on now and are doing really well. I’ll up date my review when I get fruit on them. Editing...April 2020...my tree is in full flower, so should get a bumper crop of cherries this year. I’m so pleased

I bought this tree for my mum 7 years ago. Last year was the first bumper crop year due to the good weather I expect but it has been growing and getting better year after year. The one thing I’d flag is that the cherries are much lighter than pictured in the listing as I’ve posted here. I don’t mind however, they are sweet and very good indeed! I only docked star for this reason as the listing is not accurate.

I bought this a few month back already growing strong leaves

Arrived 3 days after order placed. A stick with tiny tiny buds, nothing like those pictures in the item description - the root is a lot smaller, and it doesn't have any branches at all. Root was wrapped in cling film. Looked a bit dry so I soaked the roots in a bucket of water for 1 hour before planting it out in the garden. Almost one month on, it is still a stick. The tiny tiny buds are still tiny tiny buds. No sign of life at all. While I still have couple days left before I can return it, I've decided to keep it for three reasons: (1) The plant nurseries had a hard time in the past year; (2) I still have some hope in the stick; (3) I can't really be bothered to dig the stick out, wrap it and go to post office to return it. A lesson learned not to buy bare root plants online in the future - it's false economy. Buy potted instead; at least they'd have better chance survive the transport process.

Not keeping cherry at all, flowers but no fruit

I bought this in February this year but waited until March to plant it to avoid the frost. It was well packaged but to be honest just looked like a big dried up stick with twigs. I soaked the roots as advised in the packaging, planted it in the garden and left it alone for a few weeks as there was quite a lot of rain. Following some sunny weather I went to check on it and couldn't believe how well it had done. It was covered in shoots, little leaves and buds. A few days later the buds opened and for the last week or so it has been covered in beautiful white blossom. I had not realised it would flower so shortly after planting. It is clwarly a very hethy and good quality tree and I am so glad I bought it and hope it continues to thrive.

The cherries are always so juicy and sweet. Highly recommended!!
