Why plant Whitegold Sweet Cherry Bare Root?
Is there any prettier picture than the snow white blossoms of a Whitegold® Cherry Tree announcing the arrival of spring? Only the red-blushed yellow fruits of a Whitegold® Cherry Tree celebrating the arrival of summer! Get two seasons of drama for your landscape and lots of tasty, wholesome snacking from this special yellow-fruited Cherry Tree from Cornell University. Whitegold® cherries are sweet and luscious—perfect for eating straight off the tree. These beautiful rosy-gold cherries fetch a high price at the market; you can grow them at home and save a bundle. And in the spring you get cherry blossoms, too!
Whitegold® Cherry (a.k.a. ‘Newfane’ Cherry) emerged from a fruit tree breeding program at the New York State Agricultural Extension Station in Geneva. One of the researchers’ goals was to produce a self-pollinating yellow Cherry Tree; existing yellow cherries needed another variety growing nearby in order for fruit to form. In 1975, they crossed Emperor Francis, a red-blushed gold variety that could not pollinate itself, with Stella, a red variety that was self-fertile. From the 433 seedlings that resulted from the pairing, they selected one which inherited both the gold color and self-fertility from its parents. Whitegold® Cherry was introduced by Cornell University in 2001.
How to use Whitegold Sweet Cherry Bare Root in the landscape?
The Whitegold® Sweet Cherry Tree blooms midseason, before Blackgold® Cherry and at about the same time as most other Sweet Cherry Trees. The blossoms, which are quickly mobbed by happy honey bees, will pollinate any other Sweet Cherry Trees you have that are blooming and in need of a partner. Whitegold®, of course, pollinates itself and will set loads of delicious cherries on an annual basis as long as its needs are met.

How To Plant Whitegold Sweet Cherry Bare Root
Growing perfect cherries can be rather challenging, as there are several pest and disease issues to look out for. Good cultural practices will help keep your Whitegold® Cherry healthy and resilient. Give your tree as much sun as possible in a site with good air circulation and soil that is fertile and well drained.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
