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)
