Cherry is a popular fruit crop that grows in every summer cottage. When choosing a variety for planting, many summer residents like to experiment, planting newer varieties. These include cherry Garland of domestic selection.

Breeding history

Cherry Garland is a variety bred at the Rossoshansk Horticultural Station, on variety trials in 1988. The author of the fruit crop is the breeder A. Ya. Voronchikhina. The parental forms are Krasa Severa cherry and Zhukovskaya variety. It is not currently included in the State Register, it is recommended for growing in the North Caucasus region.

Description of the variety

This cherry variety is a medium-sized tree that grows up to 3-4 meters in height. Cherry is characterized by a neat rounded crown, medium foliage with green leaves and red-brown branches extending at right angles from the stem. The bark of an adult tree is distinguished by a gray-cherry color with a pronounced sheen.

Blossoming by the tree later - the first half of May. For two weeks, the cherry crown is covered with large snow-white flowers that attract a pleasant aroma. Each inflorescence contains 3-5 flowers with corrugated petals.

Fruit characteristics

Cherry Garland is a large-fruited variety. In a favorable environment, cherries weighing up to 6.1 grams grow on the tree. A feature of the variety is the unusual and beautiful shape of the berries - heart-shaped, sometimes rounded-conical with a narrowed top. Ripe cherries are evenly covered with dark red color. The peel of the fruit is smooth, thin, elastic. A characteristic feature of the variety is the presence of double fruits, the so-called twins.

Cherries have a wide purpose - they are eaten fresh, canned, used in cooking, frozen, processed into jam. Due to the dry separation of the berries from the stalk of the cherry, they are not damaged, however, the fruits do not tolerate long-term transportation. Cherries have a short shelf life.

Taste qualities

Cherry has a classic, bright taste. The rich red pulp is characterized by fleshiness, tenderness, medium density, veins and juiciness. Cherries have a refreshing taste - sweet and sour, without astringency and bitterness, complemented by a pleasant aroma. The juice of the berries is light red, thick and rich. The cherry's bone is large, but easily separates from the pulp.

Ripening and fruiting

Mid-early cherry Garland begins to bear fruit 3-4 years after planting. You can taste the berries in mid-June. Mass ripening of berries occurs at the end of June. Cherries are spiced together.

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.In favorable conditions, this culture can bear fruit in 2 or 3 years. However, you often have to wait 4-5 years.

Yield

The yield of this species is high, increasing over time. In the first 4 years of fruiting, the tree can produce an average of 8.7 kg of ripe berries per season. Over time, as it grows and develops, the average indicators will grow to 24.7 kg from 1 adult tree per season. The maximum yield reaches 55-60 kg per tree per fruiting season.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Cherry Garland is self-fertile, therefore does not need additional cross-pollination. Additionally planted nearby cherries and cherries with similar flowering times can only increase the yield.

Landing

You can plant a cherry tree in the spring (before the start of the growing season) in the northern part of the country, and in the fall (after complete leaf fall) in the southern regions. For planting, it is recommended to choose a one / two-year-old seedling 90-110 cm high with a straight red-brown stem. The rhizome must be well developed and free from damage. The distance between plantings should be 2-3 meters.

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

Cherry trees should be planted in an area cleared of weeds and debris. It is better if the tree is located in the southern or southwestern part. The passage of groundwater should be deep - 1.5-2 meters, which will prevent stagnation of moisture and prevent rotting of the root system. There should be a lot of sun and light on the site, as well as reliable protection from drafts.

Agrotechnics of cherries Garland consists of standard measures: watering, fertilizing, loosening and mulching the soil, forming the crown, removing dry branches, preventing diseases, preparing for winter.

Watering is carried out regularly, especially in the first time after planting. Winter hardiness of cherries will increase abundant watering in the autumn digging of the soil. Fertilizers are applied annually, including useful microcomponents during the growing season. In the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, which contribute to the growth of green mass, and in the fall, potassium and phosphorus, which prepare the cherries for winter. Pruning should be both formative and sanitary, which is carried out as dry and damaged branches appear. A fine-grained metal mesh installed around the trunk protects against rodents.

It is important that the area around the trunk is kept clean, otherwise diseases and pest infestations cannot be avoided.

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 her, 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

Cherry has a good immune system. The cultivar is not susceptible to moniliosis, but it can suffer from coccomycosis, rust and cercosporosis. Cherries are attacked by such pests as aphids and fleas, which will help get rid of insecticide treatments.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The variety is winter-hardy, so the tree is not afraid of frosts of -20 ... 25 degrees and recurrent spring frosts. Freezing of shoots occurs when temperatures drop to –30. In such conditions, up to 70% of flower buds can die. Drought resistance in fruit crops is weak, so you always need to control watering.

The tree grows comfortably in loose, fertile, moisture-, air-permeable soils. Chernozem, sandy loam, sod-podzolic and light loams are considered favorable for cherries. Excessive moisture, prolonged shade and gusty winds negatively affect the development and fruiting of the culture.

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.
