BlackGold™ is a widely recommended self-fertile sweet cherry for commercial and home growing. The heart-shaped fruit has dark red skin, moderately firm dark purple flesh and good flavor; peak eating quality is reached when brix is 16 or higher. BlackGold™, a late bloomer, is very frost tolerant and a good late season pollenizer. Production is consistently heavy; harvest is about one week after Bing. (U.S. Plant Patent No. 13791)
