Tools & Supplies
Having the proper tools and supplies when growing your own can make the difference between a good harvest and a great harvest! Here's a list that our experts recommend for this variety.
When I was a kid, we had three cherry trees in our yard (None of which were given any care over the years). We had black, sour and yellow. All these trees died prematurely due to The lack of any kind of maintenance. We all LOVED the yellow variety and ate them right off the trees. These were the sweetest cherries I have ever had.
This would have been during the late fifties and early sixties in northeast Ohio. I have not seen or heard of yellow cherries since our tree died. A few years ago, I began seeing Rainier cherries in the stores and bought some every time I see them. They are not quite the same. Our cherries never got any hints of any color other than yellow ( except,that they were more golden than yellow). And the flesh was also golden and firm without being hard. Actually, they came in yellow and hard, and golden and firm when ripe. And oh how sweet they were. They looked like they were going to burst through their skins. Do you have any clue what these cherries were or where I might locate a tree? Now that I have been reminiscing, I have such a craving for them. Please help me if you can. I'm sitting here with some Rainiers and they just call short.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
BEST ANSWER:Hi, PJ - You are right; Rainier is not a true yellow cherry. As for your yellow cherry, it's pretty near impossible to tell what variety you might have had 50 or 60 years ago - it may not even be in existence any longer. We do have a yellow cherry that gets high marks from our customers, and it was introduced in 1942, so I suppose it is possible that this could be it. It's called Stark?? Gold??? Sweet Cherry.

The three cherry trees are received are doing really well they're growing beautifully and I've taken very well and made my front yard closer to what I envisioned. The hybrid grafted pear tree an apple tree that I also bought did very well the multi almond though did not survive I don't know if this has something to do with shipping my technique of planting or just me environment in Michigan. I would definitely recommend this package and the triple cherry free your yard.
These are wonderful trees, hoping for fruit this year, they look great, and love their new spot. The trees and plants always arrive packaged nicely and do awesome right away when the directions are followed.
These are the best trees I've found to buy on-line, these cherries came to life and grew well last year and came back great this year! I love these Stark Bro's trees!!!
Received above trees in prompt, Stark's fashion. Planted above In NE Pennsylvania and all three appear healthy and thriving. Always pleased with Starks products,delivery, and outstanding customer service. They always stand by their products and their warranty is impeccable. A pleasure to do business with these folks
I purchased triple play cherry tree collection last year. One of the cherry trees did not survive. That's the only reason I did not gave it a five stars. I bought a total of about 20 fruit trees from Starkbro. The rest of fruit trees grow well. There was severe drought in Georgia last year, I think that's part of the reason one of the trees didn't survive.
