This is the third year I've had my dwarf stella cherry tree on my balcony, but the first time I managed to get any edible fruit from it. The first year it didn't produce fruit (this is normal) and then last year the birds ate the unripe cherries before I could get to them. This year, on the recommendation of a labmate, I bought a net to put over the tree and thereby prevent the birds' access. I wasn't sure how to tell when the cherries were ripe... but when I noticed two of them becoming over-ripe, I figured that was good enough! I managed to get 15 cherries from the tree, all told, and they were delicious! Maybe I'll get even more next year :)
