» Varieties of cherries

Cherry is valuable and useful dietary product. Today, many gardening enthusiasts prefer unpretentious and at the same time high-yielding varieties cherries. Cherry variety Molodyozhnaya perfectly combines these qualities, which is described in this article.

The cherry variety Molodyozhnaya was bred by the breeder Kh. D. Enikeev together with S.N. Saratova. They crossed two varieties of cherries together: And . In 1993, the resulting cherry variety was entered into the state register.

This variety of cherry grows in the central region and in the Urals. Cherry Youth can grow in the form of a tree or a bush. In height, a tree or bush grows up to 2.5 meters. The foliage of a tree or bush forms a rounded shape, slightly drooping. Leaves of medium size, bright green color.

The inflorescences of the plant consist of five or seven flowers, the diameter of which is 1.8-3 cm. The flowers are white, the stamens and the pistil are equal in height, which allows the plant to self-pollinate.

Youth refers to self-fertile varieties. This variety will soon please with its fruits. Already in the fourth year, the tree begins to bear fruit. And after four years, vigorous fruiting begins, which persists until the plant reaches 15-20 years.

Flowering begins in mid-May, and by mid-July you can harvest berries. During the fruiting period, one bush or tree can produce from 10 to 12 kg of berries.

Variety Molodyozhnaya has average winter hardiness. Flower buds are also moderately resistant. This variety of cherry tree has an average degree of resistance to diseases such as coccomycosis and moniliosis, as well as to various microorganisms.

Humid and warm climate provokes the development of diseases in the plant.

Description of cherry berries

Fruits are formed on the branches of the previous year or bouquet.

The berries have a sweet-sour taste, dense, juicy dark red flesh.. Their weight reaches five grams. The medium-sized stone is quite easily separated from the pulp. The berries are oblong in shape. Dense fruits are resistant to transportation and mechanical damage.

Cherry of this variety is saturated with vitamins and organic acids, as well as phosphorus, potassium.

The taste of fruits is dominated by sweetness, so they often used in the preparation of a variety of dessert dishes. Berries are great for fresh consumption.

Positive and negative qualities

Youth has many positive qualities.

These include the following characteristics:

• good tolerance by flower buds lowering the air temperature;
• plant resistance to fungal diseases;
• berries are convenient to transport, as they are quite dense;
• self-fertility of cherries allows pollination of neighboring non-self-fertile plants;
• the plant is resistant to lower air temperatures and to dry periods in summer;
• in berries a large amount of vitamins, microelements, pectins.

However, along with the advantages of this species, there are some features that should be considered when cultivating:

• every year the plant must be treated with fungicides to prevent various diseases;
• you need to carefully select a landing site, perfect option- plain with mild winds;
• every year it is necessary to fertilize with phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium;
• to avoid overgrowth, the plant must be cut regularly.

These features of care in no way detract from the value of the Youth.

Cultivation of cherries of this variety and rules for caring for it

In order for the plant to please with a rich harvest, gotta take good care of her b. Not a small role in this is played by the choice of place and time of landing.

Where and at what time to plant?

The location for the Youth cherry is preferable to choose on a low hill, which is not blown by the winds and at the same time receives enough sunlight.

The most favorable soil for growing youth is sandy loam with neutral acidity.

Seedlings should be planted either in early spring or early autumn.(end of September). So the plant adapts to the winter cold and calmly overwinter. With later planting dates, the risk that the plant will not be accepted increases.

Stages of planting a seedling:

1. Dig a hole measuring about 80 cm in diameter and 40 to 50 cm deep. Place top dressing at the bottom of the hole, which includes: manure, nitrogen and phosphate. You should not plant a plant with damaged roots - it is better to cut them off slowly. Top dressing will help the seedling to take root better and faster in place.
2. Carefully put the roots of the plant in the hole and sprinkle with earth.
3. In a circle around the seedling form a hole. Mulch it with humus, sawdust, small bricks or expanded clay. So when watering, the water will better linger and nourish the root system of the plant.

It is important that at first the soil near the seedling does not dry out and is loose.

1. Before the first fruiting carry out lime treatment plants.

When planting a 2-year-old seedling, it is necessary to cut it off immediately. First of all, all shoots that extend at an angle of 90 degrees from the branches are cut off. Next, the "skeleton" of the plant is outlined - three main branches. Around the main branches, all branches are cut, in addition to those that depart at a right angle from the “stem”.

Cherry care rules

Although cherry is a rather unpretentious plant. To get a rich harvest, you must follow some rules in caring for it.

• Annually it is necessary to carry out treatment with funcidal special preparations. This is to protect the plant from various fungal diseases. Particular attention should be paid to this issue if an already infected tree grows next to the cherry.
• It is necessary to fertilize the soil regularly. To do this, in the spring it is necessary to fertilize the youth with nitrogen fertilizer, and in the fall with potash and phosphorus fertilizers. A positive effect on the growth and development of cherries is provided by top dressing from compost or manure.

To get a good harvest of Youth, regular top dressing of the soil is necessary.

• To improve the yield, it is necessary to prune annually.. Particularly long branches are cut off and young strong and bouquet branches grow in their place. Berries soon appear on these branches. It is better to keep the height of the plant in the range from 2 to 2.5 meters. This will improve the quantity and quality of fruits.
• Measures for pruning branches and tops of cherries provide additional influx of sunlight and prevent thickening of the crown.
• The plant loves water and needs regular watering.. This is especially true during dry summers.

When watering, it is important not to soak the ground, as high humidity adversely affects the Youth.

• When preparing the plant for wintering, much attention should be paid to the root system. For rodent and frost protection tree roots are covered with peat or moss.

How to properly collect and store cherries

Harvesting should begin on the twentieth of July. The fruiting period ends in August.

In order for the berry to be stored fresh for a long time, it must be carefully sorted. Only dense berries are left for storage, without external damage, the color of the stalk is green. Line the prepared container (tray, box) with paper. Place berries on the bottom. In this case, the layer of berries should not exceed ten centimeters. Remove the container with the berry to be stored in the refrigerator. The temperature should be between 0˚С and +2˚С. In this form, the fruits are stored for two weeks.

If the berries are frozen instantly, then the shelf life will increase from three to six months.

You can also prepare a variety of compotes, jams, jams or cherry jams and enjoy them all year round.

Features inherent in the cherry variety Youth

• Even if only one plant of this species is planted on the site, the harvest will be obtained in one hundred percent of cases. This is due to the ability to self-pollinate and the successful structure of the flowers - the pistil and stamens are of equal height.
• When planting a seedling with its own roots, the harvest will be already 3-4 years. And with proper grafting of a tree, berries can form even earlier than this period.
• Excellent resistance to various fungal diseases.
• The negative feature is the accelerated overgrowth. Therefore, it is necessary to remove excess branches in a timely manner so that sunlight is not blocked.

Exposure of cherries Youth to the effects of diseases and pests

Youth, unlike many other varieties of cherries, is resistant to fungal diseases.

The most dangerous disease for this variety is moniliosis.. With this disease, the branches gradually dry out. In this case, the plant can be either completely affected by this disease, or its individual parts.

When establishing this disease, it is necessary to cut off all diseased branches with an indent of 15-20 cm to the healthy parts of the branch. Cut branches must be disposed of to prevent the spread of the disease.

Cherry Youth is prone to monilial burn, which appears during the flowering of flowers. To cure, it is necessary to spray the leaves of the plant with a special solution. This disease also spreads quickly, so you need to carefully monitor nearby trees.

When yellow leaves appear on the plant need to pay more attention to it. Especially if the color changes quite quickly and the leaves turn purple. This may signal a disease or a lack of nitrogen fertilizer in the soil.

Classification by maturity

Varieties of cherries that grow in a bush must be planted at a distance of 2-2.5 meters from each other, so that the branches do not intertwine with each other and do not interfere with others. Tree-like varieties that have a large spreading crown are planted at a distance of 3-3.5 meters. It is advisable to leave a lot of space for trees so that they do not obscure each other.

The most popular varieties

This is a cultivated type of cherry, a tall tree with a wide crown and spreading branches. Its bark is shiny dark. The leaves are oblong-oval, pointed at the ends, dark green above and slightly lighter below. Flowers are located on long peduncles and can reach up to 2.5 cm in diameter. In this type of cherry, the petals are painted white and have a pleasant fragrant smell. The flowering period lasts about 3 weeks. The fruit of the cherry is an ordinary rounded shape and has a sweet and sour taste. This species is very common in the territories of Russia and some European countries. This is due to the fact that the common cherry is very unpretentious in care, frost-resistant, grows well in partial shade and tolerates dry summers well. It has many hybrids that are often used for decorative purposes.

A resistant variety, popular in Siberia, is the common Ashinsky cherry. This is a self-fertile species, that is, grown without pollinators, however, in very severe winters, its fruit buds can freeze slightly. Therefore, the yield of Ashinsky over the years is not always stable.

Cherry fruits - a common stone fruit - are valuable both for fresh consumption and for various kinds processing. They contain not only sugar and organic acids, but also many vitamins, for example, C, P, riboflavin.

Cherry propagation occurs with the help of root offspring and cuttings, but such seedlings must be grafted to obtain a variety. Without it, wild cherries will grow from the tree. But this rule applies only to previously grafted plants. Root offspring of varietal cherries give excellent seedlings, from which good fruit-bearing trees are obtained.

Steppe cherry perfectly tolerates frosty winters, in this regard, it can most often be found in northern Russia and in mountainous areas. This type of cherry is a low growing tree or shrub that branches heavily and creates a large crown. On upright branches are small size leaves are dark green, shiny. Their shape is oblong-oval, pointed at the end. The roots grow up to 3 meters from the tree and are shallow in the ground. The flowers of this type of cherry are small and collected 2-5 pieces in a bunch on branches, painted white. The fruits are small, juicy, sour in taste, can be red, pink and burgundy. The period of full ripening comes to the end of summer or the beginning of autumn.

Even the most popular of all existing varieties are not suitable for all regions of Russia. Therefore, it is desirable to select zoned cherry varieties for the Moscow region, which were obtained taking into account the characteristics of specific areas. Only in this case, when growing a crop, gardeners will not have problems, and they will easily achieve excellent fruiting.

Cherry as a fruit plant has been known since ancient times. Its back in the fourth century BC. e. it was described by Theophrastus, a Greek naturalist and one of the very first botanists.

Cherry (trees and shrubs of any kind) has many useful properties and qualities not only in fruits, but also in branches, foliage, and even in petioles of berries.

Felt cherry is a tree or shrub that has a large spreading crown with a small stature, about 1-3 meters. The homeland of this species is China, so the second name is Chinese cherry. It can be used both for decorative purposes and as a fruit tree. The flowers are dense and beautifully arranged on the branches. Its advantage is in early flowering, and this is how it decorates gardens that still stand with bare branches. The leaves are small, oval, with notches. From the underside they are pubescent, this creates the effect of velvety of the whole tree. The branches are thick with rough bark, have a gray-brown hue. The flowers are small, pinkish-white. Felt cherry, tree or shrub, well tolerates not only winter frosts, but also spring cold. Small cherry fruit, from red to almost black, sweet, juicy. The stone is small and does not separate from the berry. After ripening, the fruits of felt cherries can remain on the branches for a long time without losing their properties.

Cherry varieties for middle lane, their characteristics and features differ from those that are zoned, for example, for Siberia. The latter should not only withstand the cold as much as possible, but also give early harvest.

For cultivation in cold zones, breeders have bred special winter-hardy varieties cherries that can pollinate and bear fruit in a rather harsh climate. These varieties include Crimson, Generous, Brunette, Malinovka, Polevka, Rusinka, Moscow Griot, Amorel, Saniya, Zhukovskaya, etc.

​Xenia​

The variety ripens in the 3rd decade of June. The trees are medium tall (up to 2.7-3.2 m). It has high resistance to coccomycosis, medium resistance to moniliosis, differs in winter and frost resistance. The fruits are large (weight 5.6-7 g), dark red, medium density, sweet-sour taste. Harvest-20-25 kg per tree.​

For treatment, the sap of the tree is used, which is called cherry glue. It contains such useful substances as sugar pentose, galactose, arabinose. Cherry glue envelops the walls of the stomach and helps with inflammation of its mucosa.

Useful properties and application

The sand cherry is native to North America. Just like Japanese, it is used to decorate gardens and parks. Sand cherry is a shrub that reaches a height of only 1.5 meters.

SELECTION OF CHERRY VARIETIES FOR THE GARDEN, COTTAGE

Cherries need annual pruning to rejuvenate trees and bushes and remove diseased and dried branches. If the question arose about whether a cherry is a tree or a shrub, you can simply answer: what kind and variety you choose, this type of plant will delight you every year with its flowering and fruits.

In gardens south of the capital, there are also such species as Moscow Griot, Malinovka, Rastorguevskaya, Rusinka, Saniya and the widespread Apukhtinskaya.

Harvest varieties of cherries

Whether it will be possible to grow an abundantly fruiting tree with juicy and tasty fruits in your garden or whether efforts will be in vain depends mainly on which varieties of this crop are chosen. The criteria for selection, depending on the region, are the following factors: winter hardiness, early maturity, resistance to drought or diseases, flowering and ripening time, need for light, etc.

Bushy varieties are rather small plants up to 3 m high, which begin to yield already 3-4 years after planting. At the same time, berries mainly appear on last year's branches, and such cherries live for 15-20 years. The most common bushy varieties are Lyubskaya, Shchedraya, Vladimirskaya, Krupskaya, Bagryanaya, Molodezhnaya, etc. Tree-like cherries are distinguished not only by the greater height of the trees - up to 7 m and later fruiting dates (4 - 5 years), but also by the fact that fruiting they occur on generative shoots only 1–2 cm long, which bear fruit for 2–5 years. Tree-like varieties include Griot ostheim, Kentskaya, Early English, Zhukovskaya, Turgenevka, etc.

The fruits are large (weight 7.5-8.6 g), dark red, with juicy, relatively dense pulp and sweet and sour taste. The variety is high-yielding, during the fruiting period it gives 20-25 kg per tree.

A decoction of the stalks is also often used for swelling and diarrhea. This recipe is known in almost every family.

Bush cherry branches tend to grow strongly, so they need to be pruned annually. This is done with skill, since cherries react worse than other trees and bushes to pruning. This process is carried out the next year after planting. The period must be chosen when the bush is still in winter sleep. It could be the end of February or the beginning of March.​

Vladimirskaya cherry, for example, in the Moscow region is considered a traditional representative of the garden. It is frost-resistant and well resists many diseases. Vladimirskaya is designated as a mid-season variety, which means that its fruits ripen in mid-July. The berries of this tree are dark red in color and weigh about three and a half grams. The fruits have firm flesh with a sweet and sour taste. Due to the high content of sugars in Vladimirskaya cherries, very tasty jams and jams are obtained from it.

​In the conditions of the Russian climate the best varieties cherries are those that endure cold and are self-fertile. This criterion is explained by the fact that even under adverse weather conditions, when bees do not fly, normal pollination of flowers must still occur.

When pruning, it is recommended to leave the trunk 30-50 cm from the ground. In the first year of pruning, 5-7 strong branches are left, which are at a distance from each other and directed in different directions. In the second year of pruning, cut out all the branches that are directed to the center of the bush. During the spring-summer period, green shoots will appear on the trunk, which must be cut immediately. If the bush is running, then such shoots are removed already during the spring pruning of the bush.	Another variety of cherry zoned specifically for the Moscow region has late dates maturation.

Cherry is popular with most gardeners. However, not everyone manages to get a sufficient harvest. Find out what is causing the decrease in yield and how this issue can be resolved.​	With annual pruning, a bush is formed and branches that grow inward are removed so that the bush is not very dense. Dried and dead shoots are also removed, and instead of them, young ones are left to replace them. Bush cherries often develop root shoots that should be removed by pruning just below ground level. If this is done higher, then a new bush will form from such growth, and the shoots will begin to branch.
The yield of almost all stone fruits is subject to fluctuations and depends on a number of reasons. Studies of varietal plantations in the gardens of the Moscow region made it possible to find out the reasons for such differences and determine what is necessary for regular harvests.​	Breeders have bred many varieties of this plant. They differ not only in taste, but also in the color of the fruit and the timing of fruiting. It is on the choice of variety that the ripening period of the fruit largely depends.

The low productivity of cherries, which is observed in our country, can be explained by several reasons. Firstly, this is the appearance of foreign varieties resistant to moniliosis and coccomycosis (Nord Star, Meteor, Kelleris). Such trees, as a result of weakening by diseases, do not tolerate winter well. Usually their fruit buds freeze slightly, which affects the yield.

Bushy varieties of cherries

Cherry pruning, like all trees, occurs during dormancy. This is the end of winter or the beginning of spring. This process is tied to weather conditions in the cherry growing region. When pruning trees, dry, weak and diseased branches are removed, and the cut points are processed. You can also remove large main branches with a file if a disease is detected. In this way, you can save the whole tree by deleting the bad branch.​

Many varieties of cherries are not zoned to the outskirts of the capital, the climatic conditions of which have a bad effect on their growth. This culture comes from southern regions, therefore, in northern, unusual conditions for it, only adapted varieties can be grown. Successful cultivation of cherries in the Moscow region depends on more from the choice of planting site and top dressing of the soil.

The fruits are large (7.5-8.5 g), one-dimensional, dark red, with dense sweet and sour pulp, transportable. Productivity at a fruitful age is 25-35 kg per tree.

Secondly, the amount of harvest is strongly influenced by changing climatic conditions. Prolonged thaws, which in January and February are replaced by recurrent cold snaps with temperatures of -18-20 ° C, are detrimental to flower buds. In addition, a very common occurrence during the cherry blossom period has become spring frosts. In blooming flower buds at a temperature of -2 ° C, the stigma of the pistil is damaged, and if the temperature drops to -10 ° C during the flowering period, the pollen partially loses its ability to fertilize. You can determine whether you will get a harvest by looking at an open flower in the spring. If you see black stamens and pistil, then there will be no fruit.

Common cherry, varieties for planting

Cherry is a tree or shrub that does not require special knowledge or specific care. Timely pruning, top dressing, watering - these are almost all the procedures necessary for the good development and growth of cherries.

Cherries planted on sandy and loamy soil well “filled” with organic fertilizers and provided with constant care and fertilizers will delight with good harvests. The tree reaches a height of three meters, but begins to bear fruit only in the fifth year. The berries of this variety of cherries for the Moscow region are large and juicy, the stone is easily separated. Turgenevka is great for those gardeners who pamper their loved ones with compotes, jams and other preparations. It grows quietly both in central Russia and in climates with cold winter where frosts reach thirty-five degrees.

Dark pink, sweet and sour taste, yield 10 kg per bush.

Pleasant sweet and sour taste, yield 6-8 kg per bush. Chocolate.

Maturity is medium. Tree of increased winter hardiness, medium height.

To obtain high annual yields, cherries must be winter-hardy, preferably Partially self fertile

VARIETIES POLLINATORS OF CHERRY

When buying a seedling, keep in mind that most cherry varieties are self-fertile. In order for a flower to turn into a fruit, pollen from another variety of cherry or sweet cherry must fall on its pistil. To do this, you need to have the right pollinator variety nearby. Insect pollination is impossible in some cases: bees do not fly in bad weather, and during drought with temperatures above +25 ° C, due to a decrease in nectar secretion by cherry flowers, insects fly away to forbs. Cherry in the garden prefers to grow in a bright place, where the sun warms up. The soil must be fertile and perfectly pass moisture, stagnant water has a bad effect on the vital activity of the whole tree. Also, the land should be neutral and fertile; in other types of soil, cherries grow and bear fruit much worse.

In addition, the yield of this plant in the Moscow region depends on the state flower buds, which are often damaged by frost, as well as the conditions under which pollination takes place. Affected ovaries in cherries become noticeable from the end of March - the beginning of April: if they are cut lengthwise with a razor, then blackening can be seen in the center.

"Generous" - the name of this cherry variety speaks of its fertility. From each tree proper care you can collect more than eight kilograms. The fruits are tasty, slightly sour, while they have one advantage - they do not crack. Princess.

Maturity is medium. The tree is stunted, winter hardiness is above average. Cherries Cherries weighing 3.7 g, dark red, sweet and sour, universal purpose. The variety is self-fertile, yielding 9-11 kg per tree. Recommended for growing east and south of Moscow.​

Self-fertile, then good pollination of flowers will be guaranteed even in weather unfavorable for the flight of bees.

Melitopol joy, Lyubskaya, Alfa, Turgenevka Variety

The most reliable way to get consistent cherry yields is to use self-fertile and partially self-fertile varieties. They are able to form ovaries and fruits, pollinated by their own pollen, regardless of weather conditions during flowering.

Already in the 2nd year of a tree's life, it must be fed in the spring with mineral fertilizers. If the soil is empty, then humus must be applied. A good harvest of this plant is due to conditions, most of which can be artificially created for it: choose the right planting site, provide fertile and well-drained soil, and fertilize regularly. Therefore, choosing the most resistant varieties for the Moscow region, even with unfavorable growth climatic conditions you can get very good fees.

Another popular variety is Morozovka. This is a dessert variety that has gained recognition precisely because of the great sweetness of the fruit. They have not only excellent taste, but also excellent transportable characteristics. They ripen in mid-July. Frost tolerates winter cold well, but is completely unsuited to spring frosts.

The degree of self-fertility In order not to have problems with the harvest, it is worth purchasing winter-hardy and disease-resistant varieties with fruits of high taste. Dessert varieties are especially valuable, in which the fruit weight is 6-9 g (“Meeting”, “Toy”, “Wonder Cherry”, “Xenia”, “Nochka”). As a rule, one-year crowned cherry seedlings grown on antipka rootstock (Prunus mahaleb) are bought. It is compatible with all varieties of cherries, with the exception of "Lyubskaya" and "English Early". These two varieties grow better on seedlings of wild cherries, featuring high yields and durability.​

Cherry, bush or tree, perfectly tolerates drought, so it should be watered moderately, and after the fruit ripens, reduce watering or remove.

Among the large variety of plants growing in gardens and parks, one of the most famous is the cherry. A tree familiar to many since childhood and growing on the territories of three continents. In the warm regions of Russia, cherry varieties such as Lyubskaya and Apukhtinskaya are popular. They have a high yield - up to ten kilograms per tree. In addition, their seedlings bear fruit, unlike, for example, from Turgenevka, already from the second year after planting.

Partially self fertile Pollinator variety

Cherry is a vigorous tree. To facilitate harvesting, it is advisable to use low-growing varieties ("Meeting", "Baby", "Youth"). If you have purchased medium and vigorous varieties, they should be grafted onto low-growing vegetatively propagated rootstocks of predominantly Russian selection.​

All types of cherries that grow in the form of trees must be covered with lime 50-70 cm from the ground every year in the spring. This protects plants from pests and various infections. Cherry is a tree or shrub whose branches can be from 2 to 7 meters high. The flowers are painted in white or pink tone and are collected in semi-umbels or 1-2 in a bunch. The fruit of the spherical cherry in the mature stage acquires various shades of red, from light to brown-dark. Fruits - juicy drupes, edible, have mostly sweet and sour taste. The green leaves are oblong-oval in shape. When blooming, the flowers are pleasantly fragrant.

Another variety of cherry is popular among Ukrainian gardeners, which has a high yield and winter hardiness. This is a fairly unpretentious culture with a spherical, medium thickened crown. Shpanka is a cherry that grows in almost any area, it is not demanding on the soil and is resistant to such a common disease in gardens as coccomycosis. This species, popular in Ukraine and other former Soviet republics, was bred as a result of crossing cherries with sweet cherries. It is practically unsuitable for harvesting, it is not very transportable, but it differs in the size of the fruit. Wide-round sweet and sour berries of the skewer reaches a weight of up to five grams.

Spring is the best time to plant cherry seedlings. But since the vegetation of this type of plant begins very early, the purchase must be made in the fall, after the foliage has fallen, and the seedling should be dug on the site.

Cherry is a tree or shrub that belongs to the rose family. This is a deciduous type of plant, therefore, for decorative purposes, it is used only as spring accent. Many varieties and hybrids have been bred, the height of which does not reach even 1.5-2 meters, with beautiful flowers, sometimes velvety, and pleasant aroma. Cherry, tree or bush, grows quickly and due to the density of flowering and decorative effect is often used in landscape design gardens. In nature, propagated by root shoots, seeds. In a cultural form, it can only be propagated by grafting. Varieties for Siberia, bred by breeders for last years, early and fruitful. But their main advantage is high winter hardiness. There are four types of cherries that grow in harsh Siberian conditions: sandy, steppe, felt, and some varieties of ordinary.

Early medium variety, ripens in the 3rd decade of June. The tree is undersized, resistant to coccomycosis, slightly susceptible to moniliosis. Responds well to restorative pruning. It has high winter hardiness. The fruits are large (6-8 g), dark red, with tender sweet and sour pulp. Harvest - from 10 to 15 kg per tree. For planting, it is necessary to dig a hole with a diameter of about 40 cm and a depth of about 50-60 cm. If necessary, it is expanded to such a size that the roots of the seedling are freely in it and do not rest against the walls. Mix part of the earth with humus and nitrogenous fertilizer and fill it to the bottom of the pit. The seedling is placed on top and sprinkled with earth, then filled with water. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that young tree did not deepen, and the root collar remained 1-2 cm above the ground. It is also recommended to mulch a young seedling to further preserve moisture.

There are about 150 different species in the cherry genus, which are common in Europe, Asia and North America. These are mainly domestic cultivars that are bred by breeders. Wild cherries are also found in nature, of which there are many species and varieties.

Over the past twenty years, many varieties have been created - these are Maksimovskaya, Mayak, Metelitsa, Zmeinogorskaya, Ob, Novoaltayskaya and others. The zoned varieties include the Altai swallow, which, according to experienced gardeners, should be present in every site. It is one of the best pollinators for many varieties from the Siberian range.​

Cherry planting; where, when and how to plant

• Pleasant sweet and sour taste, yield 6-8 kg per bush.

Cherry fruits - a common stone fruit crop - are valuable both for fresh consumption and for various types of processing. They contain not only sugar and organic acids, but also many vitamins, for example, C, P, riboflavin.

Description of culture

Cherry as a fruit plant has been known since ancient times. Its back in the fourth century BC. e. it was described by Theophrastus, a Greek naturalist and one of the very first botanists.

Today, the cherry is considered one of the most common garden trees, second only to the apple tree. Her homeland is the Crimea and the Caucasus. It is unpretentious and grows on any, including rocky soil. However, it still bears fruit better in moist areas.

Many experienced gardeners know that it is impossible to plant the first tree that comes across on your site. After all, it is not known how a particular species will feel in this region. Therefore, only by choosing the right varieties of cherries for their garden, land owners get the opportunity to harvest a good harvest all summer and pamper their loved ones with delicious fruits rich in natural vitamins.

At the same time, beginner growers often have doubts about which seedlings to choose. Indeed, this issue is quite relevant today, because only varieties of common sour cherries number over one hundred and thirty varieties. And this is not counting the many ornamental species that a person grows solely because of their beautiful flowering (weeping cherry, sakura, etc.). But there are also felt, sandy and steppe cherries.



Criteria

Whether it will be possible to grow an abundantly fruiting tree with juicy and tasty fruits in your garden or whether efforts will be in vain depends mainly on which varieties of this crop are chosen. The selection criteria, depending on the region, are the following factors: winter hardiness, early maturity, resistance to drought or disease, flowering and ripening time, need for light, etc.

In the conditions of the Russian climate, the best varieties of cherries are those that endure the cold and are self-fertile. This criterion is explained by the fact that even under adverse weather conditions, when bees do not fly, normal pollination of flowers must still occur.

If cherry varieties initially have high resistance to the most common diseases in the region, then their care is greatly facilitated, and fruit losses are minimized. As for productivity, each adult tree should produce at least seven kilograms of berries per season.

Classification by maturity

Breeders have bred many varieties of this plant. They differ not only in taste, but also in the color of the fruit and the timing of fruiting. It is on the choice of variety that the ripening period of the fruit largely depends. According to this criterion, cherries are classified into early, as well as middle and late varieties. The ripening period of early ripening varieties falls on the beginning of July. The mid-season variety produces a crop in the middle of the same month, and the late one - in early August.



The most popular varieties

Based on winter hardiness, the following varieties of cherries for the Moscow region and central Russia can be named: Chernokorka and Molodezhnaya, Bolotovskaya and Bagrynaya, Lyubskaya and Shubinka, Volochaevka and Malinovka, Polevka, etc. Of the self-fertile, Generous, Rusinka, Brunette, Flaming, and Also Chocolate.

The record of popularity belongs to such a subspecies as Turgenevka, which gives a harvest from the first days of July. The tree reaches a height of three meters, but begins to bear fruit only in the fifth year. The berries of this variety of cherries for the Moscow region are large and juicy, the stone is easily separated. Turgenevka is great for those gardeners who pamper their loved ones with compotes, jams and other preparations. It grows quietly both in central Russia and in climates with cold winters, where frosts reach thirty-five degrees.



"Generous" - the name of this cherry variety speaks of its fertility. With proper care, you can collect more than eight kilograms from each tree. The fruits are tasty, slightly sour, while they have one advantage - they do not crack.

Another popular variety is Morozovka. This is a dessert variety that has gained recognition precisely because of the great sweetness of the fruit. They have not only excellent taste, but also excellent transportable characteristics. They ripen in mid-July. Frost tolerates winter cold well, but is not at all adapted to spring frosts.

In the warm regions of Russia, cherry varieties such as Lyubskaya and Apukhtinskaya are popular. They have a high yield - up to ten kilograms per tree. In addition, their seedlings bear fruit, unlike, for example, from Turgenevka, from the second year after planting.

Shpanka

Another variety of cherry is popular among Ukrainian gardeners, which has a high yield and winter hardiness. This is a fairly unpretentious culture with a spherical, medium thickened crown. Shpanka is a cherry that grows in almost any area, it is not demanding on the soil and is resistant to such a common disease in gardens as coccomycosis. This species, popular in Ukraine and other former Soviet republics, was bred as a result of crossing cherries with sweet cherries. It is practically unsuitable for harvesting, it is not very transportable, but it differs in the size of the fruit. Shirokouglye sweet and sour berries of the skewer reaches a weight of up to five grams.



frost-resistant cherry

Varieties for Siberia, bred by breeders in recent years, are early and productive. But their main advantage is high winter hardiness. There are four types of cherries that grow in harsh Siberian conditions: sandy, steppe, felt, and some varieties of ordinary.

Over the past twenty years, many varieties have been created - these are Maksimovskaya, Mayak, Metelitsa, Zmeinogorskaya, Ob, Novoaltayskaya and others. The zoned varieties include the Altai swallow, which, according to experienced gardeners, should be present in every site. It is one of the best pollinators for many varieties from the Siberian range.



A stable variety, popular in Siberia, is the common Ashinsky cherry. This is a self-fertile species, that is, grown without pollinators, however, in very severe winters, its fruit buds can freeze slightly. Therefore, Ashinskaya's yield is not always stable over the years.

Varieties for the Moscow region

Even the most popular of all existing varieties are not suitable for all regions of Russia. Therefore, it is desirable to select zoned cherry varieties for the Moscow region, which were obtained taking into account the characteristics of specific areas. Only in this case, when growing a crop, gardeners will not have problems, and they will easily achieve excellent fruiting.

Cherry varieties for the middle lane, their characteristics and features differ from those that are zoned, for example, for Siberia. The latter should not only withstand the cold as much as possible, but also give early harvest.

In addition to frost resistance, cherry varieties for the Moscow region should also have good resistance to coccomycosis, since this stone disease is quite common in the central region. Given these characteristics, the most suitable view for the capital and the surrounding areas is Lyubskaya.



Many gardeners note other varieties for the Moscow region that have high or medium resistance to coccomycosis. This is the same Turgenevka, Almaz, Meeting, Toy, Coral and others. A special immunity to this dangerous disease is also distinguished by a hybrid of cherry and bird cherry - cerapadus Renaissance.

In the gardens south of the capital, there are also such species as Griot Moscow, Malinovka, Rastorguevskaya, Rusinka, Saniya and the widespread Apukhtinskaya.

Cherry variety Vladimirskaya, for example, in the Moscow region is considered a traditional representative of the garden. It is frost-resistant and well resists many diseases. Vladimirskaya is designated as a mid-season variety, which means that its fruits ripen in mid-July. The berries of this tree are dark red in color and weigh about three and a half grams. The fruits have firm flesh with a sweet and sour taste. Due to the high content of sugars in Vladimirskaya cherries, very tasty jams and jams are obtained from it.

Variety Zhukovskaya

Another variety of cherry zoned specifically for the Moscow region has a late ripening period. She has large berries, the average fruit weight is four grams. The color of the berries is dark red, and the shape is oval-heart-shaped. The variety has excellent yields: mature trees (twenty years old) can produce up to twenty kilograms of berries.

Growing cherry trees in the suburbs



The yield of almost all stone fruits is subject to fluctuations and depends on a number of reasons. Studies of varietal plantings in the gardens of the Moscow region made it possible to find out the reasons for such differences and determine what is necessary for regular harvests.

Many varieties of cherries are not zoned to the outskirts of the capital, the climatic conditions of which have a bad effect on their growth. This culture comes from the southern regions, therefore, in the northern, unusual conditions for it, only adapted varieties can be grown. Successful cultivation of cherries in the Moscow region depends to a greater extent on the choice of planting site and top dressing of the soil.

Cherry, planted on sandy and loamy soil well “filled” with organic fertilizers and provided with constant care and fertilizers, will delight with good harvests.

In addition, the yield of this plant in the Moscow region also depends on the condition of the flower buds, which are often damaged by frost, as well as the conditions under which pollination is carried out. Affected ovaries in cherries become noticeable from the end of March - the beginning of April: if they are cut lengthwise with a razor, then blackening can be seen in the center.

A good harvest of this plant is due to conditions, most of which can be created artificially for it: choose the right planting site, provide fertile and well-drained soil, and fertilize regularly. Therefore, by choosing the most resistant varieties for the Moscow region, even under unfavorable climatic conditions for growth, you can get very good harvests.

Any gardener is very fond of planting and caring for cherries on his site. There are many varieties, but the most popular is the Youth cherry. The tree is winter-hardy, undersized with a spreading, rounded, slightly drooping crown of medium density. Self-fertile and bushy type with a medium-late ripening period.

Cherry "Youth". Variety Description

Cherry begins to bear fruit four years after planting. Before planting, dig a hole the size of the root system of the seedling. After that, put fertilizer, which includes nitrogen, manure and phosphate. For four years, the kidney is treated with lime. After planting, the seedlings make a hole and mulch with humus, small bricks or sawdust. Thanks to this, moisture is retained, and the soil does not dry out and does not crack. So that the tree does not dry out, it is watered abundantly, especially on dry days. Before planting, the roots of the seedling are carefully inspected so that they are not damaged. If there are any, they are carefully removed.

Cherry "Youth", description of berries



The tree grows up to 2.5 meters. The leaves are bright green of medium size, the edges are crenate. The berries are large, maroon, oval. Thanks to these qualities cherry "Youth" is popular. The description of the variety includes the following characteristics: they consume berries both fresh and in all types of processing. The taste of berries is sweet and sour, the pulp is juicy, dense. The stone is medium in size and easily separated from the pulp, the juice is dark red. The tree is resistant to dangerous diseases. The main advantage: the average ripening period (from July 15 to July 25), high yield of good quality berries.

Reviews of gardeners

Planting cherry "Youth" occurs in early spring or at the end of September. Later, it is not recommended to plant a seedling, as it will not have time to adapt to winter conditions. In addition, this process should take place in a sunny, windless place, on a small hill. The tree is able to self-pollinate, so one seedling will be enough.

One of the varieties with a high level of productivity is precisely the cherry gardeners only positive. They say that the berries are well transported and are in demand among buyers. From the fruits of the hostess close delicious jam, jam, juice, compote.



Pollination

Cherries have been found to be good pollinators for many. This gives reason to combine the planting of these two trees in order to increase the yield of cherries. Self-fertile varieties have been bred, among them the "Molodezhnaya" cherry - it does not need pollinators.

Among all the existing varieties, there are none that could have the positive characteristics that the Youth cherry has. The description of the variety allows us to say that it has a number of undeniable advantages: high winter hardiness combined with the dessert taste of fruits, immunity to coccomycosis, dry separation of the berry from the stalk, resistance of flower buds to climatic changes. It loves sun and moderate moisture.

tree pruning

When pruning, it should be remembered that this variety mainly bears fruit on a one-year growth, sometimes on bouquet branches. Many trees require annual pruning. Cherry "Youth" also belongs to them. Gardeners' reviews boil down to the fact that it is better to limit the growth of a tree at a height of 2.5 meters. When forming the crown, you can safely shorten the branches, especially those whose length has reached 50 cm. Thanks to pruning, strong branches and bouquet branches will grow next year. So it will keep good growth, fruiting, and will be compact. In addition, crown thickening should not be allowed.

Features of care



Gardeners claim that in the course of research on sandy soils cherry "Youth" performs well. The description of the variety contains the following information: such soil is rich in nutrients with good air permeability, soil reaction is close to neutral. Avoid planting in places where stagnant water forms. Landing requires well-lit places.

Selection of seedlings and soil

One way or another, for cherries it is necessary to choose favorable soil for planting. When choosing a space, you need to focus on the root system, as it is important that it does not get wet during a wet period. The tree grows over time, so this factor should also be taken into account. After all, it can block nearby plants or other objects. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of seedlings in winter period so that they are not gnawed by mice and hares.

As a rule, seedlings for planting should have a developed root system. To create the correct shaping, the upper part is cut off by about 50 cm. If the shaping is not performed, the cherry grows upward, which leads to a darkening of the area and makes it difficult to pick berries from the upper branches of tall trees.

The root itself is placed in a package with wet peat or moss. Almost on every garden plot cherry "Youth" grows. The description of the development of the plant indicates the fact that height is very important for it, so it must be regulated, as well as pruning. If you follow all these recommendations, the cherry will grow strong and strong.



Gardeners recommend buying those seedlings that are grown in climatic conditions similar to the climate suburban area. It is better to choose young trees with a lot of roots. The absence of any care requirements is an important advantage in choosing this variety. Therefore, the Youth cherry is one of the popular varieties, it is recommended by breeders for planting and growing. Following the above tips, you can get a high and high-quality harvest in four years.

Cherries, sour and sweet, round and flattened, large or smaller, find their place in the garden. It's rare for a mischievous person to pass up a chance to use a cherry pit as a point-blank weapon, and few girls haven't made tiered cherry earrings. This is from the category of the eternal. But the cherry trees themselves are changing. Breeders are developing more and more varieties that are easy to grow: short, productive, disease resistant or adapted to a particular region. Cherry bred for cultivation in the Central region - Youth..

The history of the appearance of the cherry variety Molodyozhnaya

Exactly forty years there is a variety of cherry Youth. It was bred in the late seventies by the doctor of biological sciences, a specialist in the study of stone fruit crops, Khasan Karimovich Enikeev, and the agronomist-pomologist Saniya Nasatdinovna Satarova. Youth obtained by crossing Lyubskaya and Vladimir cherries.

New variety inherited from parents best performance: short stature, long life, high yield; in addition, its berries have a large size, juiciness and excellent taste.

Variety Description

Cherry Molodyozhnaya was included in the State Register in 1993 and recommended for cultivation in the Central Region. The tree is small, bushy type, convenient for growing and care. The maximum height of the bush is 2.5 meters. The crown is wide, spreading, the shoots are drooping. Branching of medium density. The leaf is medium in size, bright green. The flowers are white, up to 3 cm, large, collected in inflorescences of five or seven, self-pollinated.

Youth cherry flowers reach 3 cm in diameter

The fruits are quite large, round, slightly flattened, with a wide funnel at the base. The average weight of berries is 4.5 g. The skin of ripened berries is maroon, the flesh is dark, dense, juicy, with a pleasant aroma and sweet and sour taste. The stone is small, easily separated from the pulp. Berries are equally good for fresh consumption and in preparations. Well transported due to dense pulp.

Cherry variety Molodyozhnaya is considered reliable due to stable annual fruiting. The average yield per tree is up to twelve kilograms of berries. Blooms in May. The berries ripen in the second half of July. Seedlings are not fast-growing: fruiting begins no earlier than 3–5 years after planting. Trees live and bear fruit up to 20 years. The variety is self-fertile, is a good pollinator itself and bears fruit better in the presence of other cherry varieties.

Cherry Youth is characterized by high winter hardiness. Resistance to fungal diseases is average.



Harvesting of Youth Cherry is easy due to short stature and medium shoot density.

cherry planting

Since the Youth Cherry is self-fertile, there is a risk of being left without a crop if the pollen loses viability. This can happen during the return of spring frosts, when the thermometer drops below +8 o C. Therefore, it is better not to limit the number of trees of this variety to one.

Site selection and preparation of landing pits

For planting cherries of the Molodyozhnaya variety, sunny areas protected from cold winds are chosen, far from the occurrence of groundwater. Best Places for landing - southern or southwestern slopes. Cherry loves light soils: sandy, sandy loam or loam with a slightly acidic or neutral reaction of the environment. Since in the Central region, especially in the Moscow region, the soil is clayey and acidic, some gardeners recommend preparing planting pits in the fall and planting cherries in the spring.

Preparatory work:




In this form, the pit is mulched and left until next year.

Landing step by step instructions

In the spring, healthy young seedlings of Molodyozhnaya cherries are purchased from a reliable nursery and planting begins. It is better to buy seedlings in containers: they are easier to transport.



Seedlings in containers are better able to withstand transportation

The landing process is as follows:




Youth Cherry Care

Due to the high winter hardiness, it is not necessary to take special measures to prepare the trees for winter. And thanks to the peculiarities of the structure, the Molodyozhnaya cherry is a variety that is convenient for growing. Small growth allows high-quality pruning and preventive antifungal spraying. In addition, cherries require watering and top dressing from time to time.

Also, stone fruit experts recommend a thorough autumn whitewashing of the trunk and main skeletal branches to prevent the development sunburn and freezer.

Watering

It is important for cherries to get enough water for the season. Excessive watering, as well as drought, are undesirable for a tree. Waterlogging will lead to rotting of the roots, and with a lack of moisture, the ovary may fall off.

The tree needs abundant watering:

• during the flowering period;
• during the formation of ovaries;
• after harvest;
• 3-4 weeks before autumn frosts.

6-7 buckets of water are brought under each tree.

The rest of the time, water as needed, checking the condition of the soil under the mulch. Uneven watering can lead to cracking of the fruit.



Cherry requires good, but not excessive moisture

top dressing

After laying organic matter in the planting hole in the next 3-4 years, you can not worry about fertilizer. In the future, the cherry requires regular feeding.

1. Before flowering, the trunk circle is watered with a solution of nitrogen-containing fertilizers: urea (urea), ammonium nitrate. Nitrogen causes intensive growth of young shoots.
2. During the flowering period, apply organic matter: humus, chicken manure solution or slurry.
3. In the summer months, cherries need 2-3 top dressings with organic matter or nitrogen fertilizers.
4. In autumn, when preparing trees for wintering, it is necessary to saturate the soil with potassium and phosphorus. It is good to use organic fertilizers. For example, wood ash is a good source of potassium. If you add 400-500 ml of ash for each tree, you can provide it necessary quantity potassium and deoxidize the soil.
5. Phosphorus and potash fertilizers can be applied throughout the season.

Photo gallery: organic and mineral fertilizers for feeding cherries

Slurry solution is the best organic fertilizer Humus is good for mulching the trunk circle in autumn Urea contains the nitrogen needed by the tree during flowering. Ash serves as a source of potassium and helps to reduce the level of soil acidity Cherries need potassium to prepare for winter

Experienced gardeners use freshly cut grass as green manure, mulching the trunk circle with it. This simple measure allows you to reduce the evaporation of water, keep the earth ball in a loose state, suppress the growth of weeds and saturate the roots with organic matter as the grass overheats. At the same time, due to the fact that there is no excessive watering, a high saturation of the roots with oxygen is maintained.

For summer top dressing, gardeners often use nettle infusion. It is prepared simply:

1. Nettles from the whole area are placed in an irrigation barrel.
2. Plants are filled with water and infused for several days.
3. When the smell becomes apparent, you can water the trees by diluting the infusion with water 1: 1.



Nettle infusion - the easiest to prepare means for feeding

1. Fill the container with weeds to 3/4 of its volume and fill it with water to the same level so that there is room for fermentation, otherwise the slurry will overflow.
2. Cover with foil and tie so that nitrogen does not escape from the container, and oxygen, on the contrary, does not get into it. The best result is obtained with methane fermentation, that is, without access to oxygen.
3. After about two weeks, the fermentation will be completed and the smell of the stable will appear. The infusion is ready.
4. The infusion is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:2 for top dressing under the root and 1:5 for foliar top dressing.

An infusion of weeds disorientates pests with its smell, and they fly around the beds they have treated. Top dressing with infusion is recommended to be combined with watering. The remaining thick can be put into compost or mulched with other garden or garden plantings.

The smell from the infusion can be significantly reduced by adding valerian along with the root to the container with weeds. You can put wheatgrass with roots, coltsfoot flowers, dandelion, and all other weeds in the infusion. Sick plants should not be used, it is better to burn them.

pruning

In cherry, the Youth crown itself is not thickened, so pruning comes down to removing broken, diseased, crossing, growing branches inside. Regular pruning is carried out in order to sanitize and improve the illumination and ventilation of the crown, which ultimately leads to an increase in yield.

Prevention of fungal diseases

The causative agents of fungal diseases are sensitive to copper-containing drugs, therefore, treatment with a 1% solution blue vitriol or Bordeaux liquid in early spring will prevent the development of diseases. It is necessary to spray not only plantings of cherries and sweet cherries, but also all stone fruits and fruit bushes Location on. When the first signs of damage occur, diseased branches are immediately removed and burned. You can repeat the treatments if necessary during flowering and immediately after harvest. Sick fruits are collected and burned together with fallen leaves.

It is impossible to lay the foliage of diseased trees in the compost, as the causative agents of fungal diseases tolerate low temperatures well and remain pathogenic.

Diseases and pests of cherries and methods of dealing with them

Cherry Youth is sometimes prone to major fungal stone fruit diseases.

coccomycosis

Coccomycosis is one of the most common cherry diseases. Its causative agent spreads rapidly and infects plants in warm and humid weather. When infected, the leaves turn yellow, small brown spots form on them, which grow and dry out. Affected leaves fall off very early.



Coccomycosis causes premature yellowing and leaf fall

Control measures:

• treatment with fungicidal preparations several times during the summer;
• collection and burning of fallen leaves.

Moniliosis

Primary infection occurs during the flowering period. At this time, gardeners often mistake the disease for damage by returning frosts. Secondary infection is promoted by fruits containing a pathogen fungus. The spread of moniliosis is favored by rainy weather.



Moniliosis spreads in cool, rainy weather

Control measures:

• collection and burning of fallen leaves and infected fruits;
• pruning and burning of branches affected by burns;
• loosening of the near-stem circle in crown diameter;
• fungicide treatment.

Clusterosporiasis

Another name for the disease is perforated spotting. It affects leaves, shoots, flowers. When infected, brown spots appear on the leaves, which dry out over time. Subsequently, holes remain in their place. Infected leaves fall off, the fruits dry up.



Klyasterosporiosis affects the entire aerial part of the tree

Control measures:

• treatment with fungicides several times a season;
• removal and burning of fallen leaves and affected fruits and shoots;
• tillage with copper sulphate.

cherry aphid

Planting cherries are often bothered by aphids. She loves all members of the Rosaceae family. Insects settle on young green shoots and the back side of the leaves and feed on their juice. The affected foliage curls and wilts, and the tree weakens, reduces the number of new shoots, loses yield and becomes more vulnerable to pathogens of fungal diseases.



Aphids feed on leaf sap, weakening the tree

To get rid of an unsolicited neighborhood, do the following:

• in spring, plantings of fruit trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, are sprayed with Biotlin's solution according to the instructions;
• repeat the treatment before flowering;
• loosen the trunk circle;
• destroy anthills and weed grass around the landings.
