Whitegold Cherry Tree

The Whitegold Cherry Tree (Prunus avium 'Whitegold') is a unique sweet cherry variety known for its pale yellow to white fruit with a sweet, juicy flavor. The cherries are firm, flavorful, and perfect for fresh eating, desserts, or making preserves. Whitegold trees thrive in USDA Zones 5-9 and require full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. While they are self-pollinating, planting another cherry variety nearby can enhance fruit production. Whitegold trees typically grow to about 15-20 feet tall and benefit from annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage healthy fruiting. The tree is relatively resistant to common cherry tree diseases but should still be monitored for pests like cherry leaf spot and aphid infestations.
