Black Gold Cherry Tree

Introduced: 2001, New York

This cold-hardy sweet cherry is very dark, deep red (almost black) and has a sweet, rich flavor. These cherries are ideal for eating right off the tree and can be frozen to preserve the crop for winter use. Reliable and high yielding, we love both the flavor and productivity of this disease-resistant cherry.

Cherry Tree Notes:

Plant where trees will get sun for most of the day in a well drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, don’t add fertilizers or compost when filling the hole, save those for a top-dressing once the tree leafs out. Always protect your new trees with a “mouse guard” either a wrap from a garden center or a tube made from hardware cloth. This cherry tree is self-fertile.

PICK TREES THAT BLOOM AT THE SAME TIME FOR PROPER POLLINATION AND FRUITING!
