- 10 Conclusion
Hundreds of existing cherry varieties are added with new ones every year. It is easy for even an experienced gardener to get confused in them. Cherry grows almost everywhere where there are fruit trees - in terms of demand and distribution, it is second only to the apple tree. To facilitate the selection of 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 that we do not know or misunderstand the meaning of. 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 they are simply collected together.
Pollination
Most often, the terms associated with the ability of cherries to set fruits from their own pollen are not quite correctly interpreted.
Self-fertility. Even in the absence of pollinators, cherries are capable of producing up to 50% of the possible yield.
Partial self-fertility. Without pollinating varieties, only 7 to 20% of the berries will be tied.
Self-infertility. In the absence of a variety suitable for pollination, cherry will give no more than 5% of the crop.
Entering fruiting
Compared to other crops (except peach), cherries begin to bear fruit early. The varieties are divided into three groups:
Fast-growing. The first crop is harvested in the third or fourth year after planting.
Medium-fruited. Fruiting - in the fourth year.
Late-fruited. Harvesting 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, begins at 8-12 years of age.
Cherry sizes
By size, cherry varieties are also divided into three groups:
Stunted. A tree, or more often a bush, whose height does not exceed 2 m.
Medium-sized. The plant is 2-4 m high.
Tall. Cherry, the height of which reaches 6-7 m or more.
Plant size is not constant. With poor care, the cherry will be lower than the declared size, and with an excess of nitrogen fertilizers, it will be higher. And in fact, and in another case, the yield and quality of the fruits will suffer.
Harvest time
With this, everything seems to be clear. The varieties are:
Early ripe. Begins to bear fruit in late June - early July.
Mid-season. The crop is harvested in July.
Late ripening. Cherries ripen in August.
Remember, the further south the region is, the earlier the cherry ripens.
Purpose of fruits
Cherry varieties are divided into three groups:
Technical. Usually they 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. Berries are suitable for processing and fresh consumption.
Canteens. 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.
Cherry woody shape
The cultivated cherry is divided into two groups according to the shape of the plant:
Shrub. It combines steppe cherry and those ordinary varieties that grow in the form of a multi-stemmed low bush. Usually this group is more resistant to frost than the tree group. It bears fruit mainly on last year's shoots.
Tree-like. It combines most varieties of common cherries. 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 colored deep red. It stains hands, has a pronounced aroma and sourness noticeable 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
Lately, many hybrids have been created. Last but not least, this is due to the desire to develop cherry varieties that are resistant to diseases and can withstand severe frosts. In addition, residents of cold regions do not give up the hope of getting cherries suitable for growing in the North into their gardens.
Duke. A hybrid of cherry and sweet cherry.
Cerapadus. A hybrid of cherry and bird cherry Maak, where the mother plant is cherry.
Padocerus. The result of crossing cherry with bird cherry, mother plant - bird cherry Maak.
The best varieties: how to choose cherries and not be disappointed
Often, amateur gardeners complain that their cherries do not bear fruit well, are often sick, and in general they are disillusioned with this culture. And the reason may be that they choose the wrong varieties.
- Plant only cherries that are specific to your region or regionalized. It would be a mistake to believe that southern varieties will not grow in the North, but on the contrary - easily. If you really decide to take a chance, take the trouble to go to the nursery for cherries. There is a golden rule of planting a "wrong" crop. If you want to grow a variety for a region farther 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 give the best yield when cross-pollinated. For example, the famous Lyubskaya, depending on the region, gives an average of 12-15 or 25 kg per bush. But in the presence of "correct" 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, plant a branch of the desired variety on the tree.
- Think carefully about which cherries to plant. Don't neglect technical varieties! The dining rooms look nice and it's a pleasure to eat them fresh. But the juice and jam from them are mediocre. Their taste is flat, "none". Have you ever wondered why only sweet cherries are not planted in Ukraine? It does not grow in every area. And try to find even a tiny courtyard without cherries, you will search for a long time. Sweet berries have been eaten and forgotten, but jam and juice will delight us until the next harvest, diversifying the diet and replenishing the lack of vitamins.
- Looking at the characteristics of cherries, correlate the yield with the habit of the plant.
- The size of the tree. Think carefully about what height cherry you will have "to the yard".6-7 kg of fruits collected from a two-meter tree or bush will all be eaten or processed. But the 7-meter cherry, which gives 60 kg of berries, will feed the birds, the caterpillar (it is difficult to process it), the crop will simply rot or dry out.
- Residents of the northern regions, do not chase early varieties! They usually bloom too early, it is difficult for them to escape from recurrent frosts and wait for the release of beneficial pollinating insects. It is better to get a decent harvest in two weeks or even a month than to admire the flowering annually and buy cherries on the market.
- Manure! It has nothing to do with varieties, but it cannot be ignored. The fact that cherries are very fond of manure is written in almost every article devoted to this culture. But we read it and happily forget it. But the famous Ukrainian cherry orchards began to decline not when coccomycosis began to rage, but much earlier! They lost most of their attractiveness and fertility when the cow became a rarity on the farm! If you want an exemplary cherry, ferment it!
Classification
Now we will briefly consider the features of the varieties of ordinary cherries, steppe and Bessei (sandy). You can read more about them in other articles on our site, as well as about varieties of felt cherries.
Most of the information can be obtained in the tables, where the culture is broken down by the timing of fruiting. Note:
- Varieties with other fruiting periods are often used as pollinators. This is due to the flowering time - for cherries, from the moment the buds open until the harvest, the timing varies.
- If the 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.
- The yield column often says “from the bush” or “from the tree”. This reflects the woody shape of the cherry.
- If you do not have the ability or desire to process plants after flowering, choose cherry varieties resistant to coccomycosis and moniliosis.
