Sweet, succulent, and wonderfully reliable, the 'Stella's Star' Gage Tree is a compact variety that delivers an abundant harvest of golden-green gages with a blush of amber. Bursting with rich, honeyed sweetness, the fruits ripen in late August to early September, making them perfect for eating straight from the tree or turning into jams, pies, and preserves. Their smooth skin and juicy texture make them a true late-summer delight.
In spring, the branches are enveloped in stunning white flowers, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal charm. With its bushy, easy-to-manage growth, ‘Stella’s Star’ is ideal for kitchen gardens, cottage-style borders, or smaller orchards where space is at a premium. It thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, needing only light pruning after harvest and regular watering during dry spells. Self-fertile and easy to grow, this gage tree is a deliciously rewarding choice for any fruit lover.
Supplied in approx. 12 litre containers grafted on a VVA-1 Rootstock, which is semi-dwarfing and used for cherries, peaches, gages, and apricots, producing a compact tree with high disease resistance. Its compact size makes it easier to manage and ensures its fruit stays at a pickable height.
