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.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Summit is a self-fertile variety, so pollinators are required nearby, thanks to which the tree can form fruits. The best option would be to plant nearby varieties of Rechitsa or Poetzia.

Growing and care

The correct choice of a seedling and a place for growing a crop has a significant value on the yield indicator. Basic recommendations.

  1. When buying seedlings, preference should be given to young plants without defects in the form of outgrowths, scratches or cracks. The bark should be smooth and shiny and the root system well developed.

  2. Cherry Summit prefers to grow on small slopes or flat areas where there is no stagnation of moisture. Otherwise, if drainage is not provided, the plant will quickly rot.

  3. The acidity index of the soil should not exceed 4%. Therefore, before planting, it is worth conducting soil studies.

  4. The site must be well lit and protected from winds and strong drafts.

The landing time is determined by the climatic features of the region. In warm regions, you can plant cherries in the fall, in the northern regions it is better to adhere to the standard scheme, and choose spring for planting.

Algorithm for planting cherries Summit.

  1. First, prepare the site. 10 days before planting cherries, dig holes up to 0.4 meters deep and 0.5 meters wide.At the bottom of each hole, a layer of mullein or humus is laid out for additional feeding of the soil.

  2. Before planting a seedling, the soil is loosened, saturating it with oxygen, and also weeded to remove pests.

  3. The seedling is planted so that the neck is 5 cm above ground level. After planting, the roots are carefully covered and tamped. Water the plant only after a week.

Timely caring for the plant will help to achieve a bountiful harvest.

  1. Watering. Irrigation should be carried out every 3-4 days in the summer, adding 1-2 buckets of warm water to the soil. When cherries reach 4 years of age, watering can be reduced to 3 times per season.

  2. Top dressing. Fertilizing the soil is necessary at the beginning of the season, during flowering, fruiting. And also it is worth feeding the plant before frost. Organic compounds and superphosphate solutions are used as fertilizers.

  3. Whitewashing and trimming. Seasonal treatments that help strengthen the tree's immunity and improve the quality of the harvest. Pruning in the early years is necessary for the formation of the crown, after which it is carried out to remove old or dry branches.
