Subject: [NAFEX] Black Gold Cherry (source?)
Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2002 19:45:04 -0700

This cherry has been getting accolades lately and I would like to get
some on dwarfing rootstocks. Raintree had them. Then the price went up
and now they are no longer avail.

Cornell is quite proud of them (Black and White Gold).
Their press release is at
http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/pubs/press/current/2cherries02.html

Although I live in zone 3 many zone 4 plants have done well around here
and if Global Warming is a reality I'm already in zone 4 so I want to
enjoy it while I can.
Rodney, I suspect that Raintree will sell Black Gold and White Gold again. I think that they sold of Black Gold last spring, because they only listed White Gold in their fall catalog (being a white cherry, it may not have sold as well as Black Gold).

I have my doubts, though, whether either Black Gold or White Gold will do well in zone 3. Perhaps the warmer half of Zone 4 would be okay.

Another source of these two new cherries is J.W. Jung Seed Co., 335 S. High St., Randolph, WI 53957--0001 (phone 1-800-247-5864). or go to www.jungseed.com . I've been doing business with this firm for a number of years and they are very reliable and service-oriented.--Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, MN (zone 4b)
