- 10 Conclusion
New ones are added every year to the hundreds of existing cherry varieties. Even an experienced gardener can easily get confused in them. The cherry grows almost everywhere where there are fruit trees - in terms of demand and distribution, it is second only to the apple tree. To make it easier to select varieties, we offer a kind of guide. It is far from complete and is represented only by cherries created by breeders in Russia and neighboring countries.
Quick reference of terms
In articles devoted to cherries, there are often terms whose meaning we do not know or understand incorrectly. We will try to explain them briefly.Probably, even advanced gardeners will not refuse a kind of cheat sheet. Of course, all this information can be easily found on the Internet; here it is simply collected together.
Pollination
Most often, the terms associated with the ability of cherries to set fruit from their own pollen are not entirely correctly interpreted.
Self-fertility. Even in the absence of pollinators, cherries can produce up to 50% of the possible harvest.
Partial self-fertility. Without pollinating varieties, only 7 to 20% of berries will set.
Self-sterility. In the absence of a variety suitable for pollination, cherries will produce no more than 5% of the harvest.
Entry into fruiting
Compared to other crops (except peach), cherries begin to bear fruit early. Varieties are divided into three groups:
Precocious. The first harvest is harvested in the third or fourth year after planting.
Medium-fruited. Fruiting occurs in the fourth year.
Late-fertile. The harvest begins in the fifth or sixth year after planting.
Data are given for grafted varieties. Steppe cherry almost always begins to bear fruit earlier than ordinary cherry.
The period of full fruiting of cherries, depending on the variety, occurs at 8-12 years of age.
Cherry sizes
According to size, cherry varieties are also divided into three groups:
Short. A tree, or more often a bush, the height of which does not exceed 2 m.
Medium height. Plant 2-4 m high.
Tall. Cherry, the height of which reaches 6-7 m or more.
Plant size is not a constant. With poor care, the cherry will be lower than the declared size, and with an excess of nitrogen fertilizers, it will be higher.In both cases, the yield and quality of the fruit will suffer.
Harvest dates
Everything seems to be clear with this. There are varieties:
Early ripening. They begin to bear fruit in late June - early July.
Mid-season. The harvest is harvested in July.
Late ripening. Cherries ripen in August.
Remember, the further south the region, the earlier the cherries ripen.
Purpose of fruits
Cherry varieties are divided into three groups:
Technical. They usually have small sour berries with a high content of vitamins and other useful elements. Eating them fresh is a dubious pleasure. But these cherries make the best jams, juices, and wines.
Universal. The berries are suitable for processing and fresh consumption.
Dining rooms. They are often called dessert. The fruits are very beautiful and tasty; they contain a lot of sugar and little acid. Such cherries are good to eat fresh, but the processed products from them are mediocre. They are distinguished by a “flat” taste and weak aroma.
Woody form of cherry
Cultivated cherries are divided into two groups based on plant shape:
Shrub. It combines steppe cherry and those varieties of common cherry that grow in the form of a multi-stemmed low bush. Typically this group is more resistant to frost than the tree group. It bears fruit mainly on last year's shoots.
Tree-like. Unites most varieties of common cherries. It forms one trunk and bears fruit mostly on bouquet branches, less often on annual shoots. Drought resistant.
Features of the fruit
Cherry fruits are divided into two unequal groups:
Morels or griots. The juice of most varieties of steppe and common cherries is rich red. It gets your hands dirty, has a pronounced aroma and noticeable sourness even in table varieties.
Amoreli. Cherry varieties with pink fruits and light juice. There are much fewer of them, they are sweeter.
A short dictionary of hybrids
Recently, many hybrids have been created. This is not least due to the desire to develop cherry varieties that are disease-resistant and can withstand severe frosts. In addition, residents of cold regions do not give up hope of getting cherries suitable for growing in the North in their gardens.
Duke. Hybrid of cherry and sweet cherry.
Cerapadus. A hybrid of cherry and Maak bird cherry, where the mother plant is cherry.
Padocerus. The result of crossing a cherry with a bird cherry, the mother plant is the Maak bird cherry.
The best varieties: how to choose cherries and not be disappointed
Often amateur gardeners complain that their cherries do not bear fruit well, often get sick, and in general they are disappointed in this crop. And the reason may be that they choose the wrong varieties.
- Plant only cherries that are designated or zoned for your region. It would be a mistake to assume that southern varieties will not grow in the North, but it’s easy to do the opposite. If you decide to take a risk, take the trouble to go straight to the nursery for cherries. There is a golden rule for planting the “inappropriate” crop. If you want to grow a variety intended for a region further south than yours, buy it from a nursery in the north and vice versa.
- Think about how your cherry will be pollinated. Even self-fertile varieties will produce the best yield when cross-pollinated. For example, the famous Lyubskaya, depending on the region, produces an average of 12-15 or 25 kg per bush.But in the presence of the “right” pollinators, its yield can exceed 50 kg. Plant cherries in pairs, ask your neighbors what varieties they grow. The pollination radius is 40 m, which is not so small. As a last resort, graft a branch of the desired variety onto the tree.
- Think carefully about which cherries to plant. Don't neglect technical varieties! The dining rooms look beautiful and eating them fresh is a pleasure. But the juice and jam they make are mediocre. Their taste is flat, “nothing.” Have you ever wondered why only sweet cherries are not planted in Ukraine? It does not grow in every area. But try to find even a tiny courtyard without cherry trees, you will search for a long time. Sweet berries are eaten and forgotten, but jam and juice will delight us until the new harvest, diversifying our diet and replenishing the lack of vitamins.
- When looking at cherry characteristics, correlate the yield with the plant's habit.
- Tree size. Think carefully about the height of the cherry that will suit your yard. 6-7 kg of fruit collected from a two-meter tree or bush will all be eaten or processed. But a 7-meter cherry tree that produces 60 kg of berries will feed birds, a caterpillar (it’s difficult to process), and the crop will simply rot or dry out.
- Residents of the northern regions, do not chase early varieties! They usually bloom early too; it is difficult for them to avoid returning frosts and wait for the flight of beneficial pollinating insects. It’s better to get a decent harvest in two weeks or even a month than to admire the blossoms every year and buy cherries at the market.
- Manure! It has nothing to do with varieties, but it cannot be ignored. The fact that cherries love manure is written in almost every article devoted to this crop. But we read this and conveniently forget.But the famous Ukrainian cherry orchards began to decline not when coccomycosis began to rage, but much earlier! They lost much of their attractiveness and fertility when cows became rare on the farm! If you want an exemplary cherry tree, manure it!
Classification
Now let's briefly look at the characteristics of the common, steppe and bessey (sand) cherry varieties. You can read more about them in other articles on our website, as well as about varieties of felt cherries.
The most information can be obtained in tables where crops are divided by fruiting time. Note:
- Often varieties with other fruiting periods act as pollinators. This is due to the time of flowering - for cherries, from the moment the buds open until the harvest is harvested, the timing varies.
- If a variety is intended for the southern regions and is frost-resistant there, one should not hope that it will withstand the low temperatures of the Urals or the Moscow region.
- In the “yield” column it is often written “from a bush” or “from a tree.” This displays the woody form of the cherry.
- If you do not have the opportunity or desire to treat plants after flowering, choose cherry varieties that are resistant to coccomycosis and moniliosis.
