Sweet cherry Yaroslavna is a variety that ideally combines excellent taste characteristics, resistance to frost and drought, and high yield. The tree attracts gardeners for its ability to grow in harsh conditions.

Breeding history

Domestic breeders were engaged in breeding the variety. Yaroslavna was obtained by crossing the popular Drogan variety with various hybrids. In 1997, a new subspecies was entered into the State Register.

Description of the variety

Yaroslavna belongs to a group of plants with an early ripening period. The main characteristics of the variety:

  • height - 3.5-4.5 meters;

  • crown shape - rounded;

  • leaves are dark green with jagged edges;

  • flowers are white, collected in umbrella-shaped inflorescences.

The tree forms fruit ovaries on bouquet branches and annual shoots.

Fruit characteristics

Sweet cherry bears fruit abundantly with round-shaped berries with the following characteristics:

  • average weight - 7-8 g;

  • the skin is dense, maroon;

  • the pulp is tender, but dense;

  • the bone is round.

The fruits tolerate transportation well, do not deform or crack along the way. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and the preparation of various preparations: preserves, jams, compotes.

Taste qualities

The tasters gave the berries 4.5 points. The fruits have a juicy dessert taste and pleasant aroma. The composition of cherries contains sugars, acids and dry substances, as well as useful components.

Ripening and fruiting

Cherry Yaroslavna begins to bear fruit 4-5 years after planting. The first flowers appear closer to May, and the berries ripen by the end of June.

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.

Yield

The tree gives a high yield, subject to timely care. The average indicator reaches 119 kg / ha, which is in any case more than most popular varieties of sweet cherries are ready to produce.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Yaroslavna is a self-fertile variety, so it is recommended to plant another sweet cherry or cherry nearby.

Growing and care

Plus varieties in the absence of special requirements for climatic conditions, soil composition, care. However, in order to increase the yield indicator, it is necessary to carefully approach the procedure for planting and growing cherries.

First, you need to decide on the timing and place. Usually Yaroslavna is planted 2-4 weeks before the onset of cold weather, however, in the northern regions, gardeners recommend planting a tree in the spring, before the first buds bloom. Basic tips for choosing a location.

Sweet cherries will grow well in lighted areas.

It is better to choose hills or places with a low level of groundwater, where there is no risk of plant death due to decay.

The place must be protected from constant winds and drafts.

When planting seedlings, it is worth retreating 3.5-4 meters between the rows so that the crowns of trees do not block the sun for each other.

When the site is selected, you can start buying cherries. Preference should be given to whole specimens that have no signs of rot, pests. The best option is a two-year-old healthy seedling.

The planting scheme after acquiring cherries is as follows.

  1. 2 weeks before planting, holes are dug on the site up to 80 cm deep and up to 1 meter in diameter.

  2. Fertilizers from humus, peat, superphosphate, potassium sulfate are applied to the holes.

  3. The resulting mixture is thoroughly mixed, further loosening the soil.

  4. A peg with a length of 1.5 meters is installed in the hole.

  5. The pit is watered and left to settle for 2 weeks.

  6. The seedlings are deepened by dipping them into a clay mash beforehand. During planting, make sure that the roots are not "shaggy" on the sides.

  7. The voids are filled with fertile soil, carefully rammed and tied to a peg.

  8. Watering the seedling with a bucket of water is carried out.

It is not difficult to get a high-quality and bountiful harvest if you take a responsible approach to crop cultivation.

  1. Watering. The variety is resistant to drought and frost, but this does not mean that the tree can refuse water. Standard watering - 3-4 times per season. An abundant amount of water should be applied during the periods: the formation of buds, ovaries, fruits, before frost. On average, 1 tree should go from 1 to 2 buckets of water.

  2. Pruning. Helps to form the crown and get rid of damaged or infected branches, leaves. Pruning saves crops.

  3. Top dressing. The plant needs fertilization during the growing season and fruiting. In this case, it is recommended to add urea or other organic matter to the soil, as well as potash or superphosphate compounds.

  4. Loosening and weeding. Provides timely supply of oxygen to the soil. Removing weeds increases the supply of nutrients, which is beneficial for fruit formation.

It is recommended to cook mainly young trees for winter. First of all, it is necessary to remove damaged and diseased branches, and then cover the near-trunk circle and trunk with special materials.

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. In the southern regions, planting can be carried out in the fall.
One of the benefits of grafting a tree is to restore overgrown plants, improve the taste of the fruit, and adapt southern varieties to cool climates. If you follow all the recommendations of experts, you can strengthen the immune system of cherries, and it will be more resistant to pests and diseases.
In order to harvest a rich and tasty cherry crop every year, you need to properly care for it. Timely watering is one of the essential steps in care. The rate of watering a cherry tree directly depends on how dry and hot the weather is, and on the amount of precipitation. 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.
When caring for cherries, you need to carry out timely protection against various pests and pathogens.Depending on the cause and nature of the course, all cherry diseases can be conditionally divided into several categories - infectious and non-infectious. Each category of diseases provides for its own plan and method of treatment, the use of certain drugs and folk remedies.
