Sunburst is a precocious cherry variety, and starts bearing fruit within 2-4 years.
It is self-fertile, but if you want another cherry for pollination its flowering period exactly matches that of Stella.
Sunburst was developed by the Summerland research station in British Columbia, Canada and released in 1965. It is a cross between Van and Stella.
