Abstract:
Stella is the first self-fertile sweet
cherry named.
It resulted from the
program initiated by Dr.
D. Lewis
and L.K. Crowe at the John Innes
Institute, England, about 25 years ago.
(1, 2). The first stage of the program
resulted in three self-fertile cherries,
numbered as John Innes seedlings.'
These have been used in crosses with
high quality parents at Summerland
and elsewhere.
One Summerland
cross, Lambert x John Innes Seedling
2420, produced the Stella variety.
The
cross was made in 1956 and the selection
made in 1964; it was tested under
the selection number 2C-27-19.
