‘Nabella’ is a late season cherry that bears abundant crops of dark red to black fruits with a tart flavour, perfect for cooking and making jams. Unlike ‘Morello’, ‘Nabella’ shows resistance to dieback but is also self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit without requiring a pollination partner. Additionally, it serves as an excellent pollinator for other cherry varieties that are self-sterile.

Pollination Information: Though self-fertile, this cherry will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 4, however it is possible to use one from group 3 as well.

Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
