Stark® Gold™ Sweet Cherry
Description
Vigorous and bird-resistant. Nothing fazes this tree. Withstands temperature drops, even a record low of -30ºF. Bright golden fruit is less interesting to birds than red fruit, which means more for you to harvest! The sweet and tangy flavor will make these cherries a favorite snack in your home. Cold-hardy. Originates from Rulo, Nebraska; introduced by Stark Bro’s in 1942. Ripens in mid June. Best pollinators: any other sweet cherry variety.

The deer love the cherry tree branches, so I need to spray with a deterrent till they get too big for the deer to bother.
I had planted this tree at my previous house, and loved them.
