The buds of the variety suffered 40% damage, and after spring frosts of -5 °C, up to 30% of the flowers died.The Teremoshka cherry survives short droughts without consequences, but long periods without precipitation affect the next year's harvest.

Pollination, pollinating varieties, flowering period and ripening time

Like all cherries, the Teremoshka variety is self-sterile. Other cherries should grow nearby or on an adjacent plot for cross-pollination, up to 2-3 trees. It is believed that the following varieties cope best with this role:

From a hectare of plantings of the Teremoshka variety, 50–55 centners of berries are harvested; if all agricultural technology requirements are met, the yield doubles. The berries are easy to pick, dry picking predominates. With improper, abundant watering and during prolonged rainfall, an acceptable small percentage of cracking is observed.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of the Teremoshka cherry variety is the possibility of cultivation in relatively cold regions. Also note:

crown compactness;
winter hardiness;
stable yield;
high consumer qualities of fruits;
transportability;
resistance to major fungal diseases.

The Teremoshka cherry variety has no pronounced disadvantages, except for general species properties: self-sterility and susceptibility to attacks by insect pests.

Attention! Cherry varieties Teremoshka are not planted at the foot of the slopes.

Landing Features

For a good harvest, you need to plant cherries correctly.

Recommended timing

In the climate of the middle zone, cherries are planted in the spring if the seedlings are bare-rooted. Plants in containers move throughout the warm season.

Choosing a suitable location

For the light-loving Teremoshka cherry, choose a sunny place. In regions with cold winters, trees are placed 4–5 m from buildings, on the south wall.

Follow the rules:

groundwater does not lie higher than 1.5 m;
do not plant trees in lowlands with melt or rain water;
The best soils are sandy loams or loams with neutral acidity.

What crops can and cannot be planted next to cherries?

Berry bushes, other cherries and sweet cherries are quite favorable neighbors for the Teremoshka variety, but tall trees depress it. The distance between holes is up to 4–5 m.

Raspberries suffer from close proximity to cherries.
Tomatoes or eggplants should not be planted near cherries.

Comment! For comfortable nutrition, cherries need up to 12 square meters. m.

Selection and preparation of planting material

Buy Teremoshka seedlings with well-developed buds and elastic roots. The trunk and branches are without scratches or signs of disease.

Before planting, trees with bare roots are placed in a clay mash with a solution of a growth stimulator. The containers are soaked in large containers, the earthen lump is removed and the protruding roots are straightened.

Landing algorithm

Dig holes measuring 60x60 cm, with the same depth.
Having arranged the drainage, pour nutritious soil with fertilizers, forming it in a small mound in the hole, and install the seedling.
A peg for garter is placed nearby.
The root collar of the Teremoshka seedling remains 5 cm above the soil.
The hole is filled with earth, compacted, sides are made and watered.
A one-year-old seedling is pruned at a height of 1 m to establish a crown. In 2-year-old seedlings, growth is shortened by one third.

Warning! If the soil is heavy, the planting hole is made spacious so that there is enough space for drainage 10–15 cm high, a mixture of sand and humus with garden soil.

Subsequent care of the crop

Teremoshka cherries are pruned in March - April, before the sap flows. Remove damaged and barren branches by cutting into rings, without stumps. When branches appear over the summer that are located low on the trunk, they are cut off in August, like fast-growing young shoots.

The tree trunk is loosened, especially after watering, which is done every week, 20–30 liters per tree. Irrigation of Teremoshka cherries in May - June is important. From the beginning of July, watering is stopped to prevent the fruits from cracking. Then water in August and October.

In April, the Teremoshka variety is fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers.
In summer - superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
Mulch with humus before winter or early spring.

In autumn, seedlings are wrapped in agrotextiles and rodent netting. Snow is thrown up to the trunk for insulation.

The cottage is located in a quiet place. I decided to plant cherries, among them Teremoshka is the earliest for us. We have already harvested two crops. The tree is 7 years old, not tall, but the crown is abundant. Maybe the fertilizers that were placed in the pit had an effect. A year later I feed with humus, and in the fall I mulch with horse droppings and humus. I still cover all the trees for the winter. There was damage to the kidneys from frost, but quite minor. In the spring, the cherries did not suffer from frost; fumigation helped.

We have been growing the Teremoshka variety since 2010. Then they planted a cherry orchard of medium and late varieties. Teremoshka is not surprised by its yield; there are richer harvests.But it bears fruit regularly, the berries do not crack, are well transported, and can be stored for some time. One of the most delicious varieties of excellent dessert type. We process the surplus harvest into compotes and confitures, which are also well sold. To ensure the normal condition of the trees, we systematically use spraying.
