• Self-fertility: Partially self-fertile
• Flowering group: 1

As the name suggests this modern cherry plum variety features golden yellow spherical fruit. They make a pretty sight as they ripen on the tree in late August.

The flesh is a translucent yellow, and has a mild sweet plum-like flavour, with a hint of sharpness. It can be eaten fresh but like all cherry plums it is primarily for use in the kitchen. The small stone clings to the flesh but is quite easy to remove.

Growing and Training

Golden Sphere is a new cherry plum variety, developed for the lower temperatures and light levels of northern Europe.

As well as the pollination partners mentioned above, Golden Sphere will also cross-pollinate with most early-flowering Plum and Damson varieties.

Golden Sphere produces a compact but spreading tree, typically wider than it is tall.
