Cherry Ural sweet cherry demonstrates excellent yield indicators and unpretentious care, for which it is appreciated by gardeners.

Breeding history

Experienced breeders from the Urals were engaged in obtaining the variety, who managed to develop a species resistant to not the most pleasant weather conditions. The registration of a new cherry variety took place in 1959.

Description of the variety

Ural sweet cherry is a medium-sized variety, it is resistant to unpleasant weather conditions and frosts, good survival rate in the ground and high yield rates.

Specifications:

  • the tree is 3 m high;
  • the crown is medium in density, flat-round;
  • large white or pink flowers appear on annual shoots.

Cherry takes root well in the cold and changeable Ural climate, for which it is appreciated by the gardeners of the region. The variety thrives in moist soils and in lighted areas.

Fruit characteristics

The Ural sweet cherry pleases gardeners with large round fruits, near the seam of which there is a slight concavity. In diameter, ripe cherries reach an indicator of 17 mm and have a rich ruby ​​color.

Taste qualities

The flesh of a cherry is of medium density, but juicy and tastes like a sweet cherry. The fruit tastes sweet and sour, pleasant. The difference between the Ural sweet cherry is the easy separation of the bone from the pulp, which is also regarded by gardeners as an exceptional advantage. In the process of formation, the fruits do not crack and are perfectly retained on the stalks.

Ripening and fruiting

The first cherry inflorescences give out towards the end of spring, when stable warm weather sets in. Drupes are formed almost immediately after the appearance of flowers, fruits ripen by the end of July. Gardeners are advised to start harvesting when the cherry skin acquires a bright ruby ​​hue.

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 Ural sweet cherry has a high yield. On average, it is possible to collect up to 7 kg of fruits from a tree. In rare cases, cherries are ready to produce up to 15 kg of harvest. The highest yield occurs in the period of 4-16 years.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Cherries are partially self-fertile, so they need pollinators that have a similar flowering period. For example, Molodezhnaya, Vladimirskaya, Turgenevka.

Landing

The right choice of a place for planting a tree will help to achieve a good harvest. The seedlings will feel good and will quickly take root in sunny areas where the groundwater runs deep.It is better to plant trees on a hill so that in spring water does not accumulate under them.

Cherries are planted in the spring, before the first leaves appear on the tree. If you plant a variety in the fall, then there is a high probability that the seedling will not take root and die.

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

In addition to proper planting, you also need to take care of proper care of the plant. The main recommendations here are as follows.

  • After planting, the seedling needs regular watering. It is better to bring in large quantities of settled warm water.
  • The root soil should be periodically loosened to reduce the number of weeds and saturate the soil with oxygen in order to strengthen the root system.
  • Dried or too long branches should be cut with a garden pruner or other reliable tool. This will help channel the cherry's energies into the formation of large and sweet fruits.
  • In autumn, when the tree goes into hibernation, it is recommended to fertilize the soil with potassium and phosphorus compounds in order to compensate for the lack of nutrients and strengthen the plant's immunity.
  • Once every 4 months, gardeners are advised to fertilize the soil with manure or compost. Organic formulations will accelerate the growth of the seedling and help to achieve high yields.

Additionally, you can feed the tree in the spring by adding fertilizing, which contains nitrogen.

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

The Ural cherry has a strong immunity, it is not afraid of aphids. However, the variety is easily exposed to coccomycosis, a fungal infection, the signs of which are:

  • changing the color of the leaves from green to brown;
  • falling foliage;
  • drying of branches.

Preventive action can help prevent the risk of infection. The tree should be treated with fungicides before it begins to bloom and bear fruit.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

Cherry tolerates cold and frost well, therefore it is in demand in the Ural region. However, the plant needs shelter for the winter.

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.
