Growing regions

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The variety is partly self-fertile. To obtain a good harvest, planting of pollinating varieties is required: Maksimovskaya, Subbotinskaya, Standard of the Urals, Polevka, Mayak. To achieve the desired effect, these species should grow at a distance of no more than 35-40 m.

Landing

The soil is prepared in the fall: it is dug up and lime is added. A month later, watered with fertilizers: 1 sq. m A landing pit with a diameter of 40 cm and a depth of 50 is prepared in advance. They choose a bright place, protected from the north side from the wind, preferably on an elevation. The plant does not tolerate the abundance of moisture in the soil: this can damage the roots.

Plants are planted in the spring. Drainage is laid at the bottom of the hole, organic compounds and sand are added to the soil.After planting, a round groove is built around the tree for irrigation, about 4 buckets of water are poured, and mulched. The young plant is watered as the soil dries up 3-4 liters at a time.

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 described variety is considered unpretentious in care and drought-resistant. The lack of moisture affects the quality of the crop: the fruits will be small and dry. Adult cherries are watered abundantly, but infrequently, about 3 times per season. The first time they irrigate after the end of flowering, 2 - during the ripening of the fruits, and in October they carry out a water-charging 3 watering. About 5 buckets of water are poured out at a time. In dry weather, they are irrigated more often.

Feeding begins at the age of 3 years. After the snow melts, nitrogen fertilizers are used, in the fall - potassium sulfate and superphosphate. They are fed with organic compounds 1 time in 2 years, liming of the soil is carried out every 5 years.

The tree needs formative and sanitary pruning, which is carried out annually after the buds have awakened. A fully formed crown of a five-year-old plant should have 10-15 strong skeletal branches. Then only thinning pruning is carried out. Annual shoots of fruiting trees are not pruned.

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

For prophylaxis in the spring when the buds appear, and then after the end of flowering, they are treated with an aqueous solution of copper oxychloride, after harvesting, they are sprayed with Bordeaux 1% liquid.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

The drought-resistant cherry species easily tolerates a dry climate with high temperatures in summer. It is able to withstand frosts down to -45 degrees, it is distinguished by high winter hardiness of wood and buds. Strong cold wind and icing of the crown are most dangerous for the plant. In the northern regions, it is recommended to bend it down for the winter and fix it in this position, closing it on top with a spunbond. The variety is undemanding to the ground. The best option is sandy loam soils of neutral 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.
