Black Gold
was selected in Queensland, Australia. This tree grows vigorously, with a dense and highly manageable canopy. With annual pruning the tree can be maintained at a height and spread of six to eight feet, with consistent, heavy production of 120 to 200 pounds per tree. The fruit are medium-sized, averaging 14 pounds. The exterior of the fruit is dark green and has sharp, fleshy spines. The spines do not flatten, or “open” upon maturity, making it difficult to judge the proper harvest time and maturity. However the deep orange flesh is soft, with a strong, sweet flavor and aroma. The flesh is easier to remove from the fruit than it is with other cultivars.
