Prunus avium 'White Gold'

White Gold is an absolutely delicious red-and-yellow, mid-season, self fertile sweet cherry. White Gold is a product of crossing Emperor Francis x Stella from our friends at the NY Experiment Station.

White Gold's good size, great flavor, consistently heavy crops and resistance to cracking and to bacterial canker make the perfect substitute for Rainer cherries in areas where weather conditions are too wet and pollination options are limited. Needs 700 chill hours to reliably bloom and bear fruit.
