Among the late varieties of cherries among domestic summer residents, the following are most popular: Revna, Bryanskaya Rozovaya and Tyutchevka. These varieties give a good harvest and are easy to care for. Of course, many other berries and fruits ripen in the middle of summer, but still the bright, rich taste of late cherries will not leave anyone indifferent.

Cherry Revna

This variety was bred specifically for the Central region, but is well suited for other areas of the Central strip.

Description:

  • tree height up to 5 m;
  • sparse crown in the form of a pyramid;
  • fruit color is dark red;
  • fruit weight 5 - 8 gr.

From one tree, you can collect up to 30 kg of berries per season. However, inexperienced gardeners often plant this variety separately and do not understand why it produces poor fruit. The fact is that a pollinator is needed for successful fruiting; without a pollinator, you can get only 5% of the possible amount of berries. Tyutchevka, Raditsa, Iput are suitable as pollinators. The highest yield is obtained if the Iput cherry is a pollinator.

How to properly prune a grafted cherry tree

It is best to purchase seedlings in a nursery or from experienced gardeners. You need to buy only those shoots that have not yet opened their buds.

Important! If an inexperienced gardener made a mistake and bought a plant whose buds are already open, the seedling must be planted in open ground as soon as possible, otherwise it will dry out, will not take root and quickly die.

The pit for planting cherry trees must be prepared in the fall, during the autumn digging of the garden. The nutrient mixture that is placed in the pit should be stored in a cold place, such as a basement. The main thing is that the room is closed and sunlight does not penetrate there. However, if the basement is damp, it is categorically impossible to store the soil mixture there: this can lead to the spread of the fungus.

Inexperienced growers are often faced with cases of fraud in the seedling market. The scheme is quite simple: the seller takes any seedling intended for cultivation in the south, and says that it is zoned for the Middle Lane. Therefore, before making a purchase, it is better to consult with a specialist and study specialized literature. It is also necessary to carefully read the information on the label that comes with the seedling.
