Black Gold Cherry Tree

We love the flavor and productivity of this large, firm, deep red (almost black), disease-resistant sweet cherry. A delicious mid-season treasure, especially for our East Coast growers! It is late blooming and self fertile so its sets a big crop where others fail. Moderately tolerant of rain at ripening time. Ideally, cherry trees should get at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Cherry trees do best in deep, well-draining soil that has a pH of 6.0-7.0. Space sweet cherries 35 to 40 feet apart; dwarfs, 5 to 10 feet apart. Space tart cherries 20 to 25 feet apart; dwarfs, 8 to 10 feet apart.
