Overview

Introduced by amateur plant breeder Hector Harrison in the 1990's and named after his daughter, Stella. Also known as Hector's Greengage, it is a highly productive fruit tree from a young age and easier to grow than some forms. 'Stella's Star' is a self-fertile greengage, well-suited to the climate of southern and central UK and more suited to culinary use.

Care guide

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
