The species is characterized by high regeneration. The tree lives for about 30 years.

At a temperature of +14 degrees, they can be stored for a couple of weeks, they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Taste qualities

Taste sweet and sour, refreshing, sugar content - 12.19%, vitamin C - 21.65 mg per 100 g. Tasting score - 4.3 points.

Ripening and fruiting

Cherries begin to bear fruit 4 years after planting. It is considered mid-season in terms of ripening. The berries ripen at the same time, from about 15 to 25 July. In southern climates, you can harvest as early as late June.

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

13-16 kg are removed from one adult tree, in favorable years - 20-22 kg.

Growing regions

The species is recommended for planting in the Central Black Earth and Lower Volga regions of Russia. Can be grown throughout the middle lane and in southern climates. It is not advised to plant the variety in Siberia and in more northern regions.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

It is a self-fertile species. If you plant Turgenevka or Rovesnitsa cherries as pollinators, you can expect a good harvest.

Landing

The crop can be planted in autumn and spring. For a seedling, a well-lit area on an elevation, protected from the winds, is chosen, near a wall or a blank fence. Seedlings are placed from each other and other fruit crops at a distance of 4 m. Groundwater should be located no closer than 2 m from the soil surface. The variety is not planted next to apple trees.

The pit is made 60x60 cm in size and with a depth of about 80 cm, 2-3 buckets of water are poured inside.Garden soil from the pit is mixed with humus, manure, wood ash, superphosphate (40 g) and potassium chloride (20 g) are added. When planting, the root collar is left 6-7 cm above the ground. Otherwise, the sequence of work is standard, as for other cherry trees.

Water after disembarkation with 3 buckets of settled water, mulch with humus. After planting, watering is carried out weekly, 1 bucket each, in case of severe drought, increase to 2 buckets. At the end of the year, the seedlings are cut, leaving 5-7 strong shoots. For the winter, young trees are sheltered from frost.

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

The Pamyati Vavilov variety is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and the ability to adapt to any conditions. An adult tree is recommended to be watered at least 3 times throughout the season. The first time is watered after the end of flowering, the second time - while the berries are being poured. The last irrigation will be water-charging, it is carried out at the beginning of October. In the hot summer, they are watered no more than once a week, since the cherry does not tolerate waterlogging of the soil. They take the settled water, pour it not under the root, but into a groove along the diameter of the trunk circle. The soil is loosened, weeds are removed and straw is laid.

It is not worth feeding young trees if fertilizers were applied during planting. The first time fertilization is applied 3 years after planting. In early spring, they are fed with organic mixtures containing nitrogen, and in the fall, when digging, dry potash and phosphorus compositions are added (no more than 50 g per plant).

The variety is recommended to be pruned annually in spring, at the end of March, in cooler areas - in April. Formative pruning is recommended for the culture: you can arrange the crown in the form of a ball or pyramid. In addition, it is imperative to carry out thinning and sanitary pruning.

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 microelements.

Disease and pest resistance

The culture has a high immunity to coccomycosis. She has an average resistance to moniliosis, therefore, for prevention, the branches are treated with copper sulfate or Bordeaux liquid at the end of March. When the first signs of a fungal disease appear, the shoots begin to dry out, and it is recommended to cut them off with a part of healthy tissues by 10 cm. The cut is burned with potassium permanganate, and then treated several times with a fungicide.

The culture is almost not attacked by rodents and other pests because of the specific bitter bark.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The variety has good winter hardiness, the cherry tree easily tolerates temperatures down to -25 degrees. Plants are whitened for the winter, the root area is mulched with humus and hay, the trunk is insulated with spruce branches.Young trees are completely covered with agrofibre for the winter. Cherry in Memory of Vavilov has high heat resistance, tolerates weather changes and temperature changes, and can grow in a small shade. Soils are suitable loamy and sandy loam, neutral in acidity.

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. Cherry can be propagated by cuttings, seeds, layering, grafting, shoots. Each of the methods has its own characteristics.
