Early cherry varieties are removed from the branches in the second month of summer.

After planting the seedlings, it will take a long time before you can see the first berries on the tree. The first flowering occurs only in the fourth year of the tree's life. At this time, the tree produces only a small number of flowers. In the fifth year, you can already expect more active flowering and the first, albeit small, harvest. A decent harvest can be harvested for 6-7 years.

  • Iput;

  • Homeland;

  • Bigarro;

  • Valery Chkalov;

And also for pollination, you can plant several cherries that bloom in May. Without pollinators A gift to the Eagle does not give a harvest.

Growing and care

In the Central Black Earth Region, cherry trees are planted in the spring. For disembarkation, a warm and bright zone is chosen, which is protected from drafts. The Gift to the Eagle variety is picky about the composition of the soil. It should be a fertile and well-drained substrate with minimal acidity, prepared in advance in the fall.

Before planting, the seedlings are soaked with roots in water for two hours, and also treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. They are planted in the same way as any fruit tree. After planting, be sure to add a new small layer of soil, watered and tied up. Mulching is another important post-planting step.

Abundant watering of seedlings will be required only in the first few months after planting. Plants are watered weekly, using each bucket of water. Fruit trees can rarely be watered as they have very deep roots. In a warm, calm summer, three times per season are enough. However, in case of droughts and heat, it is watered every 10 days.

In the spring, the Gift to the Eagle will require fertilizing containing nitrogen. You can use chicken manure or ammonium nitrate. In the summer months, the soil is fertilized with potassium, and in the fall, phosphorus is applied. Top dressing applied to the soil must be accompanied by abundant watering.

For the first 5-6 years, the gardener will also have to form a crown. The optimal choice is a sparse-tiered form. In addition, sanitary pruning is carried out before sap flow. If signs of disease and drying out appear on the tree, then such branches should be removed immediately, without waiting for the deterioration of the health of the culture.

Sweet cherries are planted in a sunny and well-protected place from the wind. The soil should be fertile, loose and moisture-permeable. There are two options for planting cherries - spring and autumn. The first option is the most preferred and is suitable for all growing regions.

Basically, cherries need to be watered about 3-5 times per season, depending on the weather conditions in your area.
One of the most important agrotechnical measures in the cultivation of sweet cherry is correct and timely pruning. Correct pruning eliminates the consumption of nutrients for infertile shoots, so more trace elements are sent to the fruiting branches. This process increases the quality and quantity of the harvest.

Disease and pest resistance

The gift to the Eagle has good immunity. Most well he resists moniliosis and coccomycosis, but other diseases may well be affected. To prevent ailments, you need to carry out preventive spraying with fungicides and regularly prune.

When pests occur, insecticidal preparations are used, but it is even better to treat the trees with them in advance, prophylactically, until the harvest begins to ripen, and it does not become too dangerous.
