» Varieties of cherries

All varieties of cherries differ from each other in various ways, whether it be ripening time, fruit size or region of growth. The most resistant to frost are those cherries that are grown in the northern regions.(Ob, Ashinskaya, Metelitsa), but the most productive and sweet varieties grow in the south of the country(Lyubskaya, Shpanka, Garland). Cherries, early ripening the most stable, but their taste is much more sour (Chocolate, Youth), mid-season varieties are the golden mean (Vladimirskaya, Zhukovskaya, Turgenevka). Another sign is the presence of flowers of both sexes, that is, self-fertility (Apkhutinskaya, Pamyat Enikieva). To choose which one is the most suitable variety cherries, you need to know all their characteristics.

Self-fertile varieties include those cherries that no additional pollination required, and they independently tie both male and female flowers.

Apukhtinskaya

A medium-sized tree that produces large and tasty heart-shaped fruits. Variety Apukhtinskaya begins its fruiting in the second year after planting, refers to late maturation, the ripening of the crop falls in mid-August. The tree has good resistance to frost and drought, but it is also susceptible to the appearance of fungal diseases.

The tree begins to bear fruit already at 3-4 years of age, the period of full ripening of the crop falls at the end of June. From one cherry you can collect up to 15 kilograms of fruit. It has moderate frost and drought tolerance.

Also, self-fertile varieties of cherries include Garland, Brunette, Cinderella, Chocolate Girl, ErdiBetermo, Ksenia, Nochka, Meeting, etc.

early cherry varieties

Some images are taken from the site

It is no coincidence that the Cherry Orchard has become one of the brightest and most understandable images in Russian literature. This culture is familiar to everyone and everyone. We all carried in childhood Cherry jam from the bank, but on our holiday tables there was always a place for misted jugs of cherry compote. It is impossible to imagine a garden plot without this vibrant culture. For this reason, to date, breeders have bred a huge number of varieties of cherries. And today we will talk about Malinovka - a classic variety of common cherry from the USSR.

Description of the Malinovka variety

Breeding work and testing of the Malinovka cherry variety first began at VTISP in 1978, and was included in the State Register of Varieties in 1989 for the Central, Middle Volga ( Samara Region, Republic of Mordovia) and Ural (Republic of Bashkortostan) regions.

Malinovka cherry is a medium-sized tree 3–4 meters high. Crown of medium density, spherical. The leaves are glossy with a crenate margin.

The berries are juicy, dark red, round, medium in size, reach 3-4 years. The stones are large, but easily separated from the pulp, which has a pleasant, sweet and sour taste. The ripening period of berries is medium-late, falls on the end of July - the beginning of August. Berries are formed only on annual branches. The robin begins to bear fruit at the age of 3-5 years.

The robin is an industrial variety, but this does not mean at all that it is grown only in hectares and harvested by the ton for industrial purposes. The technical status means that the fruits of this cherry are ideal for making compotes, jams, jams and jellies.

Perfect for compotes and jams

The main disadvantage of the variety is self-infertility. This means that any other variety of cherry must be planted near Malinovka for cross-pollination. Only in this case, long-awaited berries will appear in place of the flowers. The best pollinators of the Malinovka variety are: Vladimirskaya, Lyubskaya and Shubinka.

Self-infertility (or auto-sterility) is a common phenomenon among varieties of the apple family. It often affects plums, cherries, pears and apple trees. If pollen of the same variety gets on the pistil of such a variety, then fertilization does not occur and the berries should not be expected. This is such a common phenomenon that, if the characteristics of the variety do not indicate its self-fertility, then it is probably self-fertile.

The variety perfectly withstands even severe frosts below -25 degrees, although some flower buds freeze slightly at such extreme temperatures, but this does not bring much harm to the crop.

Resistance to diseases is different: to coccomycosis - below average, to moniliosis - weak.

Planting cherry varieties Malinovka

The best time to plant cherries is spring. But it is best to buy a seedling in the fall and dig it on the site, covering it with spruce branches for the winter. The best way for planting common cherries - this is a two-year-old seedling 60 cm high.

Before you start planting, you need to decide on the optimal place for cherries. Avoid shaded damp lowlands, cherry prefers well-lit places with drained neutral soil. Groundwater should not lie close to the surface, and the depth of snow in winter should not exceed one meter. If your site has acidic soil, it must be limed. To do this, scatter 0.5 kg of lime over an area of ​​1 sq. m. and dig a shovel on the bayonet. Instead of lime, you can also use dolomite flour. It is very important to lime the soil before applying organic fertilizers. It is best to carry out liming in the fall - in October, and apply organic matter in the spring - in April. Organic fertilizers are also applied during the preparatory period. Manure or compost is added at the rate of 8–10 kg per 1 sq.m. and dig to the depth of the bayonet.

Cherry seedlings can also be further “stirred” by soaking them in a solution of a root growth stimulator, for example, in Kornevin. The drug is diluted at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water. root system planting material is placed in such a solution for 12–15 hours before disembarkation. Such a simple procedure will increase the survival rate of the seedling.

Now it's time to prepare landing pits. The distance between seedlings should be about three meters. Don't forget that the robin needs cross-pollination. To do this, you need to plant several varieties of cherries at once. Ideally, four varieties should be planted at once. Landing scheme: 2.5 x 3 m.

1. We dig a hole with a diameter of 80 cm and a depth of 50–60 cm. Upper layer we set aside the soil separately, it must be mixed with organic, mineral fertilizers and ash.
2. In the center of the hole we will drive a peg about 80 cm high above ground level.
3. We start to fall asleep soil mix, which will lie down with a cone, on which it is convenient to place and spread the roots of the seedling. Don't forget to slam the soil. It is very important that root neck located at ground level or a couple of centimeters above. Cherry does not tolerate excessive deepening at all.
4. When pouring soil, hold the trunk of a young cherry strictly in an upright position.
5. We pour a freshly planted robin with a bucket of water (about 10 liters) and tie it to a peg.
6. We mulch the trunk circle with peat.

Cherry care Malinovka

Before the first fruiting, caring for cherries is very simple. If during planting you fed the seedling, then fertilizers are no longer needed. The main thing is not to forget to get rid of weeds, water the cherries in hot weather and sometimes loosen the soil. In September, dig up the soil in the near-stem circle, but no deeper than 10 cm; the roots of the cherry lie close to the surface. Do not leave litter under the tree for the winter, this is a favorable environment for the development of pathogens, including pathogens of coccomycosis.

When the cherry begins to bloom and bear fruit, caring for it becomes more complicated.

• In hot weather, during the period of active vegetative growth, flowering or fruiting, cherries require large quantity moisture, so water it with at least three buckets of water. The last moisture-charging irrigation is carried out in autumn at the end of September in dry weather. Under the cherry you need to pour ten buckets of water.
• Fertilize with mineral and organic fertilizers at least three times per season. Fertilize for the third time in the fall during digging.
• Lime the soil at a distance of 1.5 m from the trunk every five years. This will help from shedding the ovaries.
• Do not forget to mulch the soil every year after the snow melts with sawdust, peat, needles or spunbond.
• In spring or autumn, prune, removing excess, diseased and broken shoots.

Top dressing cherries

The first time it is recommended to feed the cherry in the spring during the flowering period with mineral and organic fertilizers. Satisfy the plant's nitrogen needs with urea or ammonium nitrate. Urea or saltpeter is diluted in a ratio of 20–30 g per 10 liters of water. Consumption per bush - two buckets. Fertilizer is applied to the near-stem circle.

Manure is the most popular organic fertilizer. It is also introduced into the trunk circle at the rate of 4–5 kg per 1 sq. m. Use only rotted manure. effect from fresh manure when applied in spring, it will be noticeable only in the second half of summer.

In the spring, chicken manure can also be used as organic matter. Litter is diluted with water at the rate of 1:15. Consumption of a solution of half a bucket per 1 sq. m. Be careful: a too concentrated solution of chicken manure injures the roots of the cherry.

During fruiting, the Robin will again need a supply of nitrogen and a share of organic matter.

Autumn top dressing is needed primarily to replenish the supply of trace elements in the soil. The most popular fertilizer at this time is ordinary wood ash containing required amount potassium and phosphorus. Ash is added at the rate of 1 kg per 1 sq. m. Ash is scattered on the surface of the soil, then dug up.

Diseases and pests of Malinovka and ways to solve problems

Most robin diseases are fungal in nature. The most common of them are presented in the table.

Table: the main fungal diseases of Malinovka

Disease	Pathogen	Symptoms	Prevention and treatment
coccomycosis	Fungus Coccomyces hiemalis	Dark red spots on the leaves, changing color to brown. Gray-brown coating on the underside of the leaf. Early June leaf fall from diseased leaves causes cherry inhibition. The plant is so weakened that it does not have enough strength to overwinter, and it freezes out.	Avoid damp areas when planting cherries. Remove fallen leaves in the fall. For preventive purposes, treat the tree with a solution of urea before the start of leaf fall and fungicides after. For treatment, use a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid in the spring, at the end of flowering Topsin-M, Oksihom, Ordan, and after fruiting with copper oxychloride.
Moniliosis	Mushroom of the genus Monillia	Appearance burnt tree. Leaves wither. The berry rots and falls off. The bark is covered with gray spots. The death of first small branches, and then the whole tree.	Treatment with classic fungicidal preparations in the fall after leaf fall and in the spring before the buds swell: with copper sulfate and a 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture. Treatment consists in urgent pruning of infected branches, and burning them outside the site. Also, the tree is treated with fungicidal preparations (Skor, Oleocuprit, Kaptan, Kuprozan) immediately after pruning and again after ten days.
Clusterosporiasis	Mushroom of the genus Clasterosporium	The leaves and fruits of the cherry are covered with small spots of a reddish tint. The flesh under the spots stops growing. The berries become ugly and fall off. With a more severe course of the disease, areas of the cortex also become stained, causing cadmesis.	For prevention, treat cherries with a 5% solution of copper sulfate in spring and autumn. Cut off fungus-infected shoots and burn them outside the garden area. Do not forget to process the cut branches garden pitch. Treatment is carried out with the same drugs as for coccomycosis.
Anthracnose	Mushroom of the genus Anthracnose	Reddish bumps on fruits that grow into rot areas on berries. With a mass infection, this disease will leave you without a crop.	For preventive purposes, carry out whitewashing of trunks, remove fallen leaves, dig up the ground in tree trunks. For treatment, use the drug Polyram.
Rust	Thekopsora padi fungus	Cherry leaves are covered with rusty spots.	The main host of rust fungus is coniferous plants, so you should avoid the neighborhood of cherries with them. For preventive purposes, litter is also burned and the tree is sprayed with copper sulphate. The treatment is the same as for Moniliosis.

Fungal diseases Malinovka

Classical garden pest does not bypass his attention and cherry

Waking up in the spring, weevils begin to actively suck the juice from the cherry buds. But they cause the main damage to the crop during flowering. Females lay their eggs on newly set berries, gnawing a hole to the very bone. One female lays over a hundred eggs. After hatching, the larva begins to eat the juicy pulp of the fruit. Mass reproduction of weevils on garden plot will lead to a complete loss of the crop. To fight weevils, dig up the near-stem circle, whitewash the trunks, pick off infected flowers. Of the insecticides against elephants, Rovikurt and Aktellik have proven themselves well.

It is difficult to meet a person who would not like cherries. Remember childhood when juicy red berry was for us the best dessert. Cherry robin is a great option for your garden. We will talk about it today.

We owe the appearance of the Malinovka variety to the well-known breeders Satarova and Enikeev, who brought out a new representative of the stone fruit culture in 1988. Soon the variety passed the zoning procedure, and was recommended for cultivation in the Ural, Central and Middle Volga regions of Russia.

Description of the variety of cold-resistant cherry Malinovka characterizes the tree as medium-sized, reaching a height of 3-3.5 m. Its crown is dense, has a rounded or spherical shape, with lush foliage. Leaves have standard size, dark and glossy on top, light and ribbed on the bottom. Fruit formation is possible on two-year-old shoots. The berries are painted in an intense dark red color.

Characteristics of the tree and fruits

The berries of the Malinovka cannot be called the largest - each cherry weighs about 3-4 g. The stone inside is medium-sized, easily separated from the pulp. The pulp itself is dense, containing dark red juice. The taste is characteristic, pleasant, with a slight sourness. The fruits of the culture are widely used for home and industrial processing: they make delicious compotes, juices, jams, preserves and even liqueurs.

The variety belongs to late-ripening - the fruits reach fruitful ripeness around the 20th of July. At the same time, the culture demonstrates excellent productivity indicators - about 14 tons from each hectare of plantings. Trees are able to endure significant temperature drops, but with late spring frosts buds and inflorescences may be affected.

The robin is not a self-pollinating crop, and needs pollinating trees in the neighborhood. Even if some kind of cherry is already growing in your garden - self-fertile, for example - then such a neighborhood will favorably affect both plants: the robin will receive the pollinator it needs, and the self-fertile tree will increase productivity.

Advantages and disadvantages

The obvious advantages of the culture are late ripening, resistance to cold and high yields. In addition, the fruits have excellent commercial qualities, are well stored, and can be transported for a long time.

If you want self-pollinating cherries, the robin is not for you. Culture is self-infertile. Another feature is the low threshold of resistance to various diseases, in particular to fungal infections. It is also worth mentioning the small difficulties with pruning - the tree grows quite large, so regular shaping and sanitary pruning, as well as mandatory treatments and spraying will be fraught with some difficulties.

• Gum treatment
• Before planting, the soil must also be prepared. To do this, fertilizers are applied to the ground, and only then a bush is planted. Basic care is quite simple.​

Self-fertile varieties

The stone inside is medium in size, easily separated from the pulp. The pulp is dense, with dark red juice. The taste is pleasant, slightly sour.

• Quite bright and significant flaws for this species fruit tree not found. The main disadvantages of such a cherry are as follows:
• They are used to make compotes, juices, jams, marmalades. Used fresh and frozen.​
• Weak resistance to moniliosis, relatively small fruits, self-fertility.

Winter hardiness.

Cherry varieties by maturity

• Excellent taste - sweet with slight sourness.
• Variety "Turgenevka" bred by A.F. Kolesnikova, T.S. Zvyagina and G.B. Zhdanova at the Research Institute of Selection of Fruit Crops. Introduced into the Register of zoned varieties in 1979 for the Central, Central Black Earth, and North Caucasus regions.​
• Disease resistance.

Diseases and pests are the same as for everyone, and the fight against them occurs as standard, like in other varieties.

Cherry "Annushka"

- appears due to the above diseases. Gum is released from the branches and trunk, which can later lead to the death of the cherry tree.

​Required​ HELP!

The need for annual treatment with fungicidal preparations that will reduce the risk of developing fungal infections; Cherry is one of the most popular fruit-bearing trees in our garden. It can be found in almost any garden. Breeders have bred a large number of varieties that are very diverse in their characteristics. One of them, namely the Youth cherry, will be discussed in this article. Here we will consider the description of this variety, its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.​

There can be no single answer. The taste and color ... as they say. Yes and in different regions we live. I have seven varieties. Only three have a name (bought): Altai swallow, Rodnichok, Generous. Each is good in its own way. Berries are always plentiful. And there are also 3 small bushes of felt. There were big ones, but the neighbor was watering the garden with slurry, tilting in our direction. Burned out roots. I am currently growing from my own seeds. Changed location. Low. Almost every harsh winter leads to losses in the garden. In cherries, boles and skeletal branches often freeze slightly. At the same time, flower buds are highly resistant to late frosts.

Pleasant cherry aroma. The bones are small - especially in comparison with the “berry” itself (we remind you that cherry fruits are not berries). Size and shape of the crown.

Resistant to coccomycosis. High-yielding (at least 8 ... 10 kg of berries from a tree);

In order to prevent this disease, it is necessary to take good care of the plants in order to protect them from other diseases in the first place. Periodically trim the crown of the tree and remove weeds

Most often, the variety is used in industry in a processed form. Compotes, jellies, jams, preserves or dried fruits, amazing in taste, are obtained from its fruits. Resistance to various infections decreases in humid and warm climates;

Mid-season (medium) varieties of cherries

Cherry Youth

The Youth cherry variety was bred by breeders as a result of crossing the Vladimir and Lyubskaya cherries. Refers to the type of common cherry (as, for example, varieties Rusinka, Morozovka, Mayak, etc.) In terms of its characteristics and properties, it is similar to the Malinovka variety. Today it is widely used. It can be found in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia. ​

Chinese - it is medium in size, not sweet, and not sour! The first berries will already be between June and July! Resistance to fungal diseases.

The yield is high - about 16 kg per tree. Considering its height - nothing surprising.​ Tree up to 3 meters high. The crown is back-pyramidal. Inflorescences are four-flowered. Fruits are formed mainly on bouquet branches.

Advantages:

Resistant to the most common diseases. If diseases can completely destroy your cherries, then insects can easily kill your crop. Therefore, it is important to detect them in time and get rid of them.

and wild plants around the bush. Important before pruning Cherry variety Malinovka has

​necessity correct selection planting site, on which the growth of the seedling directly depends. Poorly ventilated and flat areas are not suitable for it; This type of cherry can be represented by both a tree and a bush. The appearance of the tree is shown in the photo below.​

For me, Vladimirovka. Almost zero. Trees are often affected by both coccomycosis and moniliosis.

Self-fertility.

Cherry Turgenevka

Fruits and yield.

early ripeness, winter hardiness, high yield, delicious berries, resistance to coccomycosis. Stone fruits usually produce fruits through cross-pollination, when pollen is transferred from one tree to another (preferably different varieties) by insects. However, a small number of berries can also be formed when pollinated by their own pollen. The ability to form fruits with such pollination is called self-fertility. In horticulture, the following classification of varieties by self-fertility is accepted:

Cherry aphid Water cherries regularly and fertilize during.

Annual feeding of the tree with phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium is necessary. With a lack of these elements in the soil, the yield is significantly reduced; The maximum height to which a tree or bush can grow is 2.5 meters. The crown of this variety is slightly drooping and rounded. The leaves of the Youth cherry are medium in size and bright green in color. The pattern of the leaf blade is characterized by crenate edges.

I'm looking for reviews myself. while I ordered felt cherry seedlings for myself (there are also many varieties of them), I am at random which one they will bring. And from the usual, I read something good about Kharitonovskaya (it seems so).

The variety is self-fertile, it is recommended to plant with varieties Kentskaya, Lada and Black large. Ripening occurs in mid-July. The fruits are large, wide-hearted, weighing more than 5 grams. The color is dark red. The pulp and juice are also dark red, the taste is, unfortunately, average. But cherries of the Turgenevka variety have a relatively small stone. The stalk is long, does not come off very well.

Disadvantages: Self-fertile - forming berries for 20 ... 40% of flowers;

- draws juice from the whole plant, drying it out. ATTENTION!

Cherry Hope

Tendency to strong overgrowth. This cherry tree begins to bear fruit on growths from the previous year, as well as bouquet branches.

I also planted felt without knowing the variety.​Comparatively low canopy simplifies the creation and maintenance of industrial gardens, good yield potential.​ Winter hardiness. The yield of the variety is within 10..12 kg per tree, more from the tallest trees.

Lack of resistance to moniliosis.

Partially self-fertile - forming berries for 10 ... 20% of flowers; In order to avoid its occurrence, weeds and other growth should be pulled out in advance around the plant.

Only healthy plants that develop in a timely manner should be pruned. If you cut off a diseased cherry, then this will possibly expose it to complete destruction. But on the other hand

However, the advantages of this cherry overlap its shortcomings. For a youth variety, precocity is characteristic. Begins to bear fruit at the age of four. The berries ripen in mid-July. Its fruits can reach a mass of 4.5 g. They are oval in shape, up to a centimeter in diameter (photo below). Variety Youth brings sweetish-sour fruits. The fruits have a dense pulp, which is very juicy. Cherry juice is dark red in color. The stone is medium in size and quite easily separated from the pulp. The youth variety, according to the tasting characteristics of its fruits, belongs to dessert varieties. Its fruits are used both for fresh eating and for all preservation options. Compotes, preserves, jams and marmalade are cooked from berries.

Malinovka and Molodyozhnaya are not tall and very sweet, I have them. I'm satisfied! Disadvantages:

Good winter hardiness of trees, slightly worse - generative buds. Self-fertility.

Late-ripening (late) varieties of cherries

Cherry Lyubskaya

Molodezhnaya is one of the most frost-resistant varieties of cherries, it is ideal for growing in the conditions of the Moscow Region and the Middle Strip in general. The variety was bred in VSTISP H.D. Enikeev and S.N. Satarova from crossing varieties Lyubskaya and Vladimirskaya. Included in the Register of Released Varieties for the Central Region.​

Self-infertile - forming berries about 5 ... 10% of the flowers. For these varieties cross pollination necessary. Cherry weevil

It is desirable to plant Malinovka on the southern and southwestern slopes The yield is very high - 10-14 tons per hectare.

In order for your tree to bear fruit perfectly, and the quality of the crop to be excellent, you need to properly plant, grow and care for it.

Up to 12 kg of crop can be harvested from one bush or tree during the fruitful period.

One of the best varieties in terms of berry size, yield, and taste is considered to be the LUBSKAYA variety. It is also a good pollinator for other varieties. Another fruitful and delicious old variety SHPANKA. ​low winter hardiness and resistance to fungal attack, mediocre taste of fresh berries

Disease resistance. The variety is partially self-fertile, it is strongly recommended to plant next to other varieties of cherries or sweet cherries.

The size and shape of the crown. By choosing self-fertile cherries, you will be less dependent on the activity of bees, bumblebees and other pollinating insects, as well as on the availability and timing of flowering of other varieties of cherries. This will make your crops more stable.​

- can completely doom your crop to destruction. and hills where there is no wind. Cherry robin needs sunny, well-lit places.

The plant withstands cold well, but flower buds can freeze a little. The best time for planting youth cherries is spring. You need to plant this tree on the hills and in well-lit areas of the garden, where ground water and the soil is slightly alkaline or neutral. Planting is carried out in a hole with parameters of 40x80 cm (depth, diameter), into which organic fertilizers are added before planting.

Cherry robin

This type of youth cherry belongs to the group with average winter hardiness. The resistance of flower buds is also average. According to the description, it is similar to the Vladimir variety. This cherry has an average resistance to various diseases (coccomycosis and moniliosis) and microorganisms. Especially often the tree is sick during the period of humid and warm summer.

Remember "The Cherry Orchard" by Chekhov. In his estate, the Shubinka cherry variety is so sour and small, but the best variety for jam with bones no. Very productive, but one will not produce. The Malinovka variety was bred in VSTISP H.D. Enikeev and S.N. Satarova. Entered into the Register in 1988 for the Central, Middle Volga and Ural regions. It is a typically late-ripening variety (ripens from July 25 to August 5).

Good resistance to both moniliosis and coccomycosis Winter hardiness.

It can form a tree or shrub up to 2.5 meters high. The crown is rounded, slightly drooping. early - early-mid July;

It eats buds and cherry blossoms. And at the same time, it can leave eggs in the fruit. Together with Malinovka

There is one drawback: After planting, every spring, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers is carried out, the amount of which depends on the age of the tree. And in the fall, top dressing is carried out with potash and phosphorus fertilizers. For better growth manure or compost is also introduced into the soil.

Dignity of this type cherry is that it is one of the most reliable varieties in terms of yield, which are represented in the nurseries of all major cities (Moscow, Kyiv, Minsk, etc.). delicious cherry. Vladimirskaya is now almost degenerated (the real Vladimirka!). And she is very prone to moniliosis. A few years ago, all the cherries in our district died (just in the Vladimir region). For interest, I ordered the Udarnitsa variety from Chelyabinsk. Good! Large, tasty, compact low bush, 2 meters tall. I want to order a few more varieties from Chelyabinsk. This year, the offspring of the dead Vladimirs bore fruit well, the harvest was collected in a race with wasps, who is faster. Good tasty berries. I also planted felt, it often rots in the region of the root collar. She refused.
