Dönissens Gelbe is a super sweet and aromatic variety of yellow sweet cherries from Germany. It produces masses of medium-sized, juicy fruit in July. Its colour brings one advantage – it is usually untouched by birds who relish on red-coloured cherries.
It is self-sterile and needs a pollinator nearby to produce fruit. The best varieties for heavy crop are Hedelfingen, Kordia and similar (flowering at the same time). It grows vigorously as a young tree, forming a rounded crown with slightly arching branches with age. It likes slightly acidic, well drained but moist soil. Fully hardy.
