The Korolev variety is a very interesting variety of columnar cherries, bred by Dutch specialists not so long ago. Manufacturers claim that such a tree can be grown not only in a garden or on a plot, but also by planting it in a flowerpot or container. Thus, it can decorate a winter garden or balcony. The Queen fell in love with gardeners due to frost resistance, good immunity, decent yield, tasty fruits, pickiness and, of course, beauty.

Description of the variety

The Queen is considered one of the tallest varieties among columnar cherries. Usually its height reaches 2.5 m, but if the growing conditions are good, it grows up to a three-meter mark (some sources mention an indicator of 5 m). This is also a disadvantage, as the height means difficulties in care and harvesting. At the same time, the crown remains compact, not exceeding a diameter of 80 centimeters. On the positive side, the colorful bloom can be noted, while the cherry flowers exude a very rich and pleasant aroma that can spread over long distances.

Fruit characteristics

The Queen's cherries are medium, reaching 7 grams in weight. Both the skin and the flesh are bright crimson. The drupes are well separated from the peduncle, without damage. The bone can also be removed without problems.

Taste qualities

The taste is noted as sweet, there is a slight sourness. The dense, juicy and aromatic pulp allows the product to be used for a variety of culinary purposes.

Ripening and fruiting

The queen is a late-ripening culture. The fruits begin to ripen at the end of July, more precisely, after the 20th, and this all lasts until August 10. Cherry begins to bear fruit in the second or third year after planting. The life cycle of a culture is 15 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

On average, 15-20 kg of fruits are removed from each tree-column of the Korolev variety.

Growing regions

Koroleva is a columnar cherry variety that does very well in the Moscow region, as well as in different regions of Belarus.

Landing

To plant a variety, you need to choose a sunny and warm place that will be well protected in winter from cold winds and drafts. Groundwater flooding is also undesirable. The culture is light-requiring, but it can endure a light shade. The cherry-column has a shallow root system, lies at a depth of 10 cm, so it is not recommended to dig up the soil around the trunk.

If you plan to plant a cherry orchard, the minimum step between the trees of the variety should be 1-1.5 m so that the roots of each specimen develop freely. The composition of the earth will also be of great importance. The ideal option for the growth of Korolev's columnar cherry is a fertile, loose and nutritious soil. If the available soil mixture is depleted, humus and superphosphate should be used to prepare the planting hole, mixing them with earth.The size of the landing pit is as follows: 40-45 cm deep and 50-60 cm in diameter.

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

At first, the variety in question does not particularly need either pruning or some kind of difficult care. It is only important to take into account the peculiarities of watering, dressing. Columnar cherry varieties do not react well to excessive moisture in the soil, especially the roots, so they need to be irrigated correctly.

A couple of years after planting, the tree is irrigated every two weeks, using 3 to 5 liters of water per plant. Older trees need 4-5 irrigation measures per growing season. But in any case, weather conditions are taken into account, as well as the presence of precipitation. After the liquid is finally absorbed into the soil, loosening is carried out, weeds are removed so that an earth crust does not form. Without this procedure, the roots will not receive the required amount of oxygen, the growth of the culture will slow down.

In the fall, the Korolev tree-column is prepared for winter. There are several must-have activities for this. First of all, this is the treatment of the trunks with a lime solution to protect the cherries from frost and pests. Plentiful water-charging watering and mulching are done before winter. The trunk is insulated with burlap or agrofiber.

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.
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.
