Stardust is a White Sweet Cherry for the extreme north. White cherries are sweeter and often not available in stores because they bruise more easily and thus are harder to transport.
Stardust is self-fertile, so it can pollinate itself. It blooms a little later than most cherries, which is good for Garrett County. Its fruit is ripe in July.
Fruit is yellow with a nice orange blush. The flesh is white and very sweet.
This tree is on a rootstalk that has been documented to do well in most soil types in our area. It is drought tolerant and will be well anchored compared to most rootstalks that can withstand a range of soil types. This rootstalk is slightly more tolerant of heavy clay and some excess moisture than most, however, as a general rule, this type of soil is not the best for fruit trees. The tradeoff is that you will need to provide some type of support for this tree for life.
Please note that licensing to sell Stardust is significantly higher than the costs of our other trees. Therefore, we had to charge a higher price for it.
