Herman - was it a breba or main crop. My stella crop was affected by the sudden cold in May & lost all breba fruits that were close to ripening. I should not have woken iit up so early & should have winterise it in the garage instead of the house but now it has recovered with lots of main crop & good branching, alittle too late. The sudden cold took a heavy toll on the tree, lost all its leaves & killed all new growth. However in 2007, it fruited & look exactly the same. Also, Adraino's Slocan Italiano looks like Stella. I would more know next year.
