Breeding history

The variety originates in the distant 80s of the XX century, when the Sverdlovsk selection experimental gardening station, represented by its employees Zhukov, Gvozdyukova and Isakova, took up the development of culture. The specialists took seedlings from free pollination of Michurin varieties as a basis. As a result of selection selection, a variety was created that is distinguished by excellent winter hardiness and small size. State variety testing has been carried out since 1988. And in 1992, the culture was enrolled in the State Register and zoned for the Volgo-Vyatka (Sverdlovsk region) and Ural regions. But the variety fell in love with all gardeners, and the cherry has spread much wider than the indicated territories, almost throughout the country.

Fruiting on bouquet shoots and 1-year growth. Differs in late flowering with white goblet flowers. Blooms from May 30 to June 8.

Fruit characteristics

Taste qualities

Abundant has a very good sweet and sour taste. The cherry juice is pink. Universal fruits can be eaten fresh, used in winter preparations: compotes, jams, preserves. A very aromatic homemade wine is obtained from the cherry varieties. Fruit taste score - 3.8 points.

Ripening and fruiting

The culture is distinguished by its late ripening period. The beginning of fruiting is the 2nd decade of August, the cherries do not ripen at the same time. The early maturity is average - 3-4 years after disembarkation. Bears fruit regularly. Plants have a lifespan of over 30 years.

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 yield is noted as high. At the same time, the volume of the harvest increases with each next year. The maximum number of cherries Abundant can bring for 8-10 years.

Landing

Considering the late entry into the growing season, it is advisable to plant Izobilnaya cherry in the spring. It is optimal to do this in April, when the ground thaws enough, and the seedlings themselves are at rest.

When choosing a place to plant Izobilnaya, it is important to consider a number of factors:

  • the site must be open, well-lit by the rays of the sun;
  • from the cold wind, on the contrary, you need shelter;
  • it is not recommended to plant cherries where any fruit trees used to grow.
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 Abundant requires increased attention at a young age. For an already adult plant, care is simple.

So, immediately after planting and for the entire 1 year, the Izobilnaya sapling will need weekly watering. In the rainy season, you can, of course, reduce the frequency of watering. From the age of 2, irrigation will not be an obligatory procedure - the culture is drought-resistant.

Formation of Cherry Abundant should be carried out rather moderately, since cardinal pruning will become stressful for it, it may even destroy it. So, for the first 6 years, it is recommended to carry out only sanitary pruning: in the fall, after the leaves fall off, you can remove dried or damaged, as well as diseased branches. The care measures include the removal of new growth that grows at the roots. When the tree is over 8-10 years old, rejuvenating pruning is performed.

If cherries are planted in fertile soil, for example, black soil, then fertilizers should be applied from 4 years after planting. The cherry tree will have enough nutrients from the soil, as well as those dressings that were laid in the planting hole. A culture growing in depleted areas will need to be fed from 2 years after planting.

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

Cherry Abundant has an average resistance to diseases and pest attacks. Most often she can suffer from coccomycosis and moniliosis.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The winter hardiness of the crop is very high. And due to the fact that cherry blossoms are late, Abundant is not susceptible to spring frosts. And also the variety is drought-resistant.

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.
