Breeding history

Cherry Excellent Kolesnikova has been introduced into economic circulation since 2006. It was created by a complex crossing of the Volga Dawn, Zhukovskaya and Cinderella. The work was carried out at the All-Russian Research Institute of Breeding of Fruit Crops. The breeders were working on the project:

  • Jigadlo;

  • Kolesnikov;

  • Zavyalova;

  • Zhdanov;

  • Trofimova.

Description of the variety

Medium-sized cherries of the Excellent Kolesnikova reach a height of 2.5 m. The crown is close in shape to a simple ball. She is weeping and usually droops. The top of the tree is of medium density. They also note:

  • average size of straight brown shoots;

  • leaves in the form of an elongated oval;

  • foliage is dark green with a matte sheen;

  • white flowers in the form of a narrow glass;

  • 3 flowers in each inflorescence.

Fruit characteristics

The dimensions of cherries are more often 1.8x1.6x1.5 cm, although there are also slightly different sizes. Their average weight is 3.9-4 grams. In shape, such drupes are most similar to an oval. The medium-sized stone separates well from the pulp. Red sap formation is characteristic.

Taste qualities

The share of dry matter is 16.92%. The concentration of sugars is 11.98%, and the proportion of acids is 1.36%. Tasters estimate the harvest in fresh condition at 4.6 points. In general, sweet and sour taste is typical for it.

Ripening and fruiting

The first crops are harvested in the 4th year of development. Normally, flowering lasts from 10 to 18 May. This crop has an average ripening period. Harvest time comes from 15 to 30 July. Weather conditions can greatly affect these times; fruits are formed both on growth and on skeletal branches.

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, the collection can be 113 centners per hectare. The maximum recorded fertility is 203 centners per hectare. The amount of collection strongly depends on weather conditions and on competent agricultural technology. But in general, the plant is unpretentious and has a decent marketability.

Growing regions

The plant is officially zoned by:

  • Belgorod;

  • Kursk;

  • Voronezh;

  • Lipetsk;

  • Tambov regions.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The official description emphasizes limited self-fertility. Therefore, cultivation of a plant without pollinators is in itself possible. However, achieving a decent result with this approach will not work.

Landing

Such cherries can be planted on loam. And also sod-podzolic soil, chernozem or light loam are suitable for it. A neutral chemical reaction is imperative. Stagnation of soil water is unacceptable. Spring planting is preferred.

You need to choose the right moment. It is better that the soil has already warmed up, and the buds have not yet blossomed. The acidic earth is preliminarily limed. This procedure must be completed before laying organic fertilizers. The introduction of lime into the planting pit itself is unacceptable - the roots may suffer.

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 culture is hygrophilous. At the same time, intense sunlight is important for her. During the growing season, a couple of dressings are carried out. When flowering is over, the trees need to be watered thoroughly. The crown is systematically thinned out, focusing on the characteristics of the development of a particular plant. The distance is approximately 1.5 m.

When flowering, it is required to spray the branches with honey water. In the spring, such cherries must be cleaned (pruned). Sections and cracks need to be covered. Water the plant 3 times during the growing season. Copper sulfate or another preparation containing copper is used to protect against diseases.

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 the 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 matter and mineral mixtures. At each stage of the growing season of a fruit tree, it needs different microelements.

Disease and pest resistance

The culture tolerates the defeat of moniliosis and coccomycosis relatively well. However, skillful handling and proper protection can achieve reliable protection. Aphids and flies should be suppressed by any means available.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The cold resistance of this plant is at an average level. Wood resists frost well. However, the kidneys can be severely damaged when the winter weather worsens.

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.
