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 brunette has a high yield. On average, 10-12 kg of fruits are harvested from a tree, up to 8-10 tons per hectare.

Growing regions

According to the State Register, this cherry is zoned for cultivation in the Central Region.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The tree begins to bloom in May. Since the Brunette is classified as a self-fertile variety, it is not necessary to have pollinating trees nearby, but they can increase yields and contribute to an increase in the size of the fruits. For these purposes, Vladimirskaya cherries, in memory of Yenikeev, are suitable.

Landing

In the south, plants are transferred to a new location closer to mid-autumn. In the middle lane, the best period for this is considered to be the 2nd decade of September.Spring planting is preferred when grown in colder climates. In choosing a location, preference is given to the hills. Steep slopes, bathed in sun for most of the day, will come up.

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

Watering rates for Brunetta cherries are about 3 liters per tree. A month before harvesting, the introduction of moisture is completely stopped. Fertilizers are applied periodically, giving preference to complexes containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. The first feeding is performed after 2-3 years from the moment of planting, performing it at the end of the flowering of the cherry tree, and then after another 2 weeks.

To maintain a neat, compact crown shape, the plant needs pruning. All branches located above the soil level at a height of up to 50 cm are removed. Dry shoots without growths are also cut out, directed towards the inside of the crown.

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

According to the degree of resistance to fungal diseases, the variety is rated average. It is resistant to coccomycosis. Moderately affected by moniliosis. Anthracnose should be wary of during the fruiting period in a damp summer. On the leaves under unfavorable climatic conditions, perforated spotting develops. Periodic spraying with copper-containing preparations will be required.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The winter hardiness of the variety is estimated to be above average. With a strong drop in atmospheric temperatures in spring, flower buds can be affected by frosts, which significantly affects the yield. Plants tolerate drought well; it will be necessary to increase the rate of watering in the heat only during flowering and the formation of ovaries, as well as during leaf fall. The soil should have neutral acidity, air permeability. Drained woody-podzolic soil or loam is suitable, in the south - black soil.
