Of all the significant variety of cherry varieties, it is Ashinskaya that is characterized by an unusual history and the presence of incredible indicators of endurance and vitality. And this is not surprising, since the hybrid culture is a relative of the steppe cherries. Cherry also amazes with the taste properties of its universal berries, and there is no need to talk about the level of its unpretentiousness - it is extremely high.

Breeding history

This universal culture was the result of the work of a team of scientists from the South Ural Research Institute consisting of V.I.Putyatin, K.K. Mullayagnov, A.E. Pankratova, I.G. its valuable varietal qualities, which is a clear merit of the employees. The culture is named after the city of Asha, located in the Chelyabinsk region. It has been listed in the State Register since 2002, and it is recommended for cultivation in the Ural region.

Description of the variety

Since one of the "parents" of the culture is a wild (steppe) plant, the resulting hybrid inherited a high degree of endurance, rapid recovery and frost resistance, which allows it to be grown in different parts of Russia.

The trees are medium-sized (2.5-3 m), fast-growing, with medium-dense crowns and rich foliage. Shoots are upright, ash-brown, without pubescence, up to 45 cm long. Leaves are narrow oval, slightly elongated, dark green in color, glossy, with a sheen.

The flowers are medium-sized (appear at the end of May), with a typical aroma, sensitive (they die at a temperature of -2 ° C). Inflorescences with five flowers. Lentils are small in size. The buds are smooth, elongated, slightly curved. Pedicels 25 mm long.

The trees rather resemble a series of tree-like stems-shoots, which soon grow and intensively occupy free areas. In natural conditions, steppe cherries grow on forest edges, developing steadily and bearing fruit in the most incredible conditions. The hybrid, having inherited many of the qualities of a wild fellow, is characterized not only by a rare unpretentiousness in care, but also by the wonderful taste properties of berries. Culture trees are distinguished by their durability - they live up to 30 years. They are often used as decorative elements for hedges.

The pluses of culture include:

  • synchronous ripening of berries;
  • a high degree of resistance to disease and sabotage attacks;
  • long-term fruiting;
  • high yields;
  • high level of survival and drought resistance;
  • excellent taste;
  • relative size of fruits;
  • the ability to reproduce by any means.

Minuses:

  • low level of transportability;
  • late ripening;
  • cracking of fruits with intense precipitation.

Fruit characteristics

Fruits of medium size (weight - 4 g), rounded-oval configuration, with rounded tops, maroon shades. The abdominal suture is not very pronounced.The consistency is firm, dark red in color. The weight of the seeds is 0.17-0.20 g. They are small, double-edged. The degree of separation of the seeds from the consistency is good. The quality of the fruit tearing off when picked is dry. Assessment of the presentation of ripe berries in points - 4.7.

By chemical composition, berries include: dry matter - 16.3%, sugar - 11.7%, acids - 1.8%, ascorbic acid - 10.3 mg%. The level of resistance of berries to cracking is high.

Taste qualities

The berries of the culture are positioned as dessert ones, with a sweet and sour taste. The tasting score in points is quite high - 4.4.

Ripening and fruiting

Young trees begin to bear fruit in the 4th year of growth after planting. Flowering time - May 23-30. In terms of ripening, the culture is late, with a fruiting period from July 20 to August 3. The aging process is synchronous.

The type of fruiting is mixed, mainly on a 1-year growth of 70% and up to 30% on bouquet branches of a 2-3-year-old tree.

When growing cherries on your site, you need to know some of the features of fruiting. After planting, the cherry tree usually does not bear fruit for the first few years. Under favorable conditions, this crop can bear fruit in 2 or 3 years. However, you often have to wait 4-5 years.

Yield

The plant is high-yielding - an average of 8-10 kg per tree.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The culture is partly self-fertile; for greater fruiting productivity, other cherries are needed that bloom simultaneously with it. Harvests ripen extremely synchronously in early August. In the absence of pollinating plants, trees are fertilized at about 35% of the ovaries. To increase yields, we recommend planting stone fruit crops with similar flowering periods near trees.

Landing

Cuttings for seedlings begin to be harvested in the first summer weeks, in cloudy weather, in the morning or in the evening. Their length should be about 30–35 cm. In this case, the shoots of the culture are soaked for 24 hours in a growth-stimulating composition to a depth of the cut part of about 1.25–2 cm. Then the cuttings are placed in nutrient soil and covered with a film. After about 14 days, adventitious roots appear, and after 30 days, difficult to root.

The process of planting trees is extremely standard and does not differ much from planting other varieties of cherries.

The culture develops in the best way on sandy loam soils, for these reasons, areas with appropriate soils must be looked after or prepared in advance. It is desirable that the soils are neutral or slightly alkaline.

Previously, before planting, the cuttings are soaked in water to improve the degree of development of the roots, using special means to stimulate their growth for this purpose. The standard dimensions of the landing recesses are 60x60x60 cm.

For guaranteed survival of a cherry seedling in a summer cottage, all basic requirements should be strictly observed during planting. It is necessary to correctly determine the timing of planting, correctly choose a seedling, prepare a planting pit.
Cherry grafting is an agricultural technique, during which one plant fragment is transferred to another to obtain a new crop with its own characteristics and properties. During the procedure, the aerial part of one tree is spliced ​​with a fragment of another culture. This will increase the yield of the cherry tree as well as increase its resistance to diseases and pests.

Growing and care

An exclusive feature of so "semi-wild" crops is the intensive process of development of basal shoots. Moreover, if for garden plants this process is an unnecessary waste of energy, then for "semi-wild" hybrids it is a completely natural method of further effective development. For this reason, the trees are not subject to intensive pruning, since there is a need to leave such a number of plant shoots that will provide its usual way of vegetation.

Nevertheless, the process of planting thinning is still necessary, traditionally it is carried out for the convenience of picking fruits. The features of the molding and the desired degree of pruning of the branches are chosen independently. Pruning and thinning activities are usually carried out after picking the berries.

For productive fruiting, it is important to select topical pollinating plants. In accordance with practice, these are the Zagrebinskaya and Alatyrskaya cherries.

Systematic feeding is applied as needed, as well as in order to implement preventive measures. If there is an unsatisfactory development of trees, then organic matter and mines are used.

One of the keys to a good cherry harvest is proper care, a mandatory step of which is pruning. Pruning is one of the simplest procedures, and it doesn't require a lot of tools and time. After the procedure, the cherry tree redistributes a significant part of its vitality to the formation of a crop, which becomes better and more stable.
For abundant fruiting and successful growth, the cherry tree must be fed. Cherry makes rather high demands on the quality of feeding. For it, you can use both organic and mineral mixtures. At each stage of the growing season of a fruit tree, it needs different trace elements.

Disease and pest resistance

Cases of cultural diseases are extremely rare and only on unkempt trees. Malicious attacks also do not differ in intensity. In some way, the crops are spoiled by birds, but they also do not cause significant trouble to the culture.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The culture is distinguished by exceptional frost resistance (up to -48 ° C), but with significant temperature drops, it will soon recover - winter shelters are not relevant.

It can withstand dry periods, but irrigation is necessary. Under optimal irrigation conditions, the level of fruiting increases significantly.

Cherries are found in almost every garden plot. And if every year she pleases with a bountiful harvest of large and sweet berries, then the question arises about the reproduction of such an effective variety. Cherries can be propagated by cuttings, seeds, layering, grafting, shoots. Each of the methods has its own characteristics.
