Fruit & Nut Tree pre-ordering is now closed, Friends!
If you’ve placed your pre-order, pick-up weekend will be April 27 & 28, 2024 (from 10-2pm)!
Ohhhhh these cherries! Ripening in late June and early July, their juicy sweetness is everything we love about summer. Released from Cornell in 2001, BlackGold is hardy to Zone 5, blooms late to thwart frost and resists many common cherry diseases, as well. (This quart of fresh-picked BlackGold cherries did not last long, you’re right!). Fruition’s BlackGold Semi-Dwarf Sweet Cherry trees are 2-year old, non-organic, bare-root nursery stock.
Several Fruition tree varieties & rootstocks are patented, including the rootstock this variety is grafted onto — to learn more, hop in here.
And Friends! BlackGold Semi-Dwarf Sweet Cherry trees are self-fertile, meaning no additional cherry varieties are needed nearby for pollination.
Please purchase trees & tree kits separately from non-tree items. Also on orders of 25+ trees, enjoy a 10% discount automatically applied to your cart!
