Cherry in Lately began to grow less frequently. On the one hand, it is replaced by more productive and tasty cherries, on the other hand, it is overcome by diseases (coccomycosis, moniliosis). And yet, breeders are convinced that cherries will soon restore their reputation and become more widespread. After all, new varieties have already been developed that are resistant to coccomycosis and moniliosis, with high-quality large fruits different terms ripening, not inferior to, and often superior to, cherries in many respects.
A breakthrough was made by crossing cherries with sweet cherries. Such hybrids look a little like cherries: they have a powerful trunk and a sparse crown. In young trees, the crown has a pyramidal shape, over time it becomes slightly raised and rounded. The leaves, flowers and fruits of cherries are larger than those of cherries. And, despite the reduced winter hardiness that they inherited from cherries, the conditions winter period tolerated better.
The first of these varieties was Miracle Cherry. It fully justifies its name - berries with good conditions 1.5 times larger than any cherry. Appearance and the taste is excellent too. It can be immediately distinguished from all other varieties by its seedlings, which have characteristic powerful shoots. But this variety can be difficult to distinguish from cherry seedlings. Externally, the fruits also look like very large cherries, and only by taste can one determine that they are cherries. The fruits are very large (8-9 g), dark red, with an excellent dessert taste.
The variety is resistant to diseases and is not afraid of drought and winter frosts. Interestingly, trees at flowering time are best pollinated by cherries. The pollinator variety can be any, the main thing is that it is cherry. The exceptions are the varieties Valery Chkalov, Drogana yellow, Krupnoplodnaya, Proschalnaya and Valeria - they are not used as a pollinator.
Around the same time, an equally beautiful and very valuable variety appeared - Igrushka. Market sellers often claim that the variety is weak-growing. This is wrong! The tree is vigorous. It is called a toy, most likely, for its beautiful and large berries (7.5-8.5 g). Valued for its very high yield. Disease resistance and drought resistance - at high level. In the third year it begins to bear fruit and produces crops for 20-25 years.
Before purchasing seedlings of this variety, please note that it is self-sterile. Plan a spot for a pollinator next to it. Of the cherries, the best neighbors for the Igrushka variety are Shalunya, Samsonovka, and of cherries - Valery Chkalov, Krupnoplodnaya, Franz Joseph.
The Vstrecha variety is good because, unlike the Igrushka variety, the trees are low-growing, bush-like, up to 2 m high, with a rounded, drooping, dense crown. The first berries are produced in 3-4 years and the yield quickly increases. The trees themselves are high-yielding and drought-resistant, suitable for dense plantings.
Highly resistant to coccomycosis, almost not affected by moniliosis, and are characterized by high winter hardiness. The fruits are in no way inferior to the Miracle Cherry (8.6 g), flat-round, dark red. Ripen at the end of June.
Despite the fact that the variety is partially self-fertile, it is still better to plant a pollinator nearby - varieties Shalunya, Primetnaya, Samsonovka.
The Sister variety is not a cherry, but a sweet cherry. It was obtained in the same way as the above-described cherry varieties - by crossing cherries with cherries. Among other varieties, it is considered a promising variety. Currently undergoing testing. Perhaps the main characteristics will be more modest, but for now they inspire respect. The fruits are large (weight 6.9-8.0 g), beautiful heart-shaped, resistant to cracking.
The trees are vigorous, but this is compensated by their enormous yield. They begin to bear fruit at 4-5 years of age, and up to 10 years of age they produce 50 kg of berries. In subsequent years - more than 100 kg. Perhaps the author of the variety got carried away; such productivity is rarely seen in apple trees, let alone in cherries. Be that as it may, if the variety passes the tests, it can be planted.
The Sesstrenka variety is distinguished by very high winter hardiness. It is higher than that of the Drogana yellow variety. Resistance to coccomycosis and very good transportability are other advantages of this cherry. As the author of the variety notes, the collected fruits can be stored at room temperature about two weeks, and in the refrigerator - more than a month.
The fruits ripen in early July. The best pollinators are Donchanka, Drogana yellow, Donetsk coal, Valery Chkalov, Valeria, Annushka, Aelita, Donetsk beauty.
As a result of crossing Nord Star cherries and sweet cherries, Valery Chkalov received a hybrid with characteristic features parent cherry varieties. It begins to bear fruit in the 3rd-4th year, bearing fruit on bouquet branches and growths from the previous year. Feature variety - it has dark green shiny leaves, inherited from Nord Star, but larger.
The variety is productive, quite drought-resistant, frost resistance and resistance to coccomycosis are high. The fruits are large (7.0 g), dark red. Everything would be fine, but the berry is sour. Suitable mainly for processing - for jams, compotes.
Pollinators are still being studied. Most likely, cherries are not suitable for it.
This is how the cherry variety was originally named at the Rossoshansk Experimental Horticulture Station.
Meanwhile, this very well reflects the essence of the variety. The tree resembles the ancient Lyubskaya variety - it is weak-growing, relatively short-lived, does not sprout, and the fruits are very large and tasty.
It differs from all the listed varieties in the highest winter hardiness. Winters safely even in the Non-Black Earth zone. Productivity in such harsh conditions is good, although not always regular.
The fruits are large, in a productive year - about 5-6 g, in not very productive years - up to 8 g. The berries are almost black, the pulp is dark cherry, sweet and sour, of excellent taste. The juice is dark-colored, almost black. Ripens in early July.
Very popular new variety large-fruited cherry Dessert Morozova. The variety is very good. Although it is recommended for the Non-Black Earth Region, it is successfully grown in both the south and northern regions. The berry is large - 5 g, transportable, moderate density, delicate consistency, juicy. The taste is dessert-like, with high sweetness and very low acidity. An excellent treat for the whole family, especially since the berries ripen very early.
Fruiting begins in 3-4 years. The variety is partially self-fertile. The best pollinators are Griot Ostgeimsky, Griot Rossoshansky, Vladimirskaya, Studencheskaya. Propagates well by green cuttings (in some years up to 70% rooting).
The tree is vigorous, but at the same time highly winter-hardy, moderately drought-resistant, with increased resistance to coccomycosis.
Disadvantages: exposure of branches due to untimely pruning. Therefore, it is recommended to perform pruning in the same way as the Lyubskaya variety - shortening the bare branches.
At first glance, Vyanok is not very large variety. The berry weighs only 3.5-4 g. But of all the Belarusian varieties of cherries, this is the best variety. Firstly, unlike most varieties, it is self-fertile. It bears fruit beautifully in good weather conditions - in splendid isolation - and produces good yields during weather anomalies.
The variety is relatively resistant to coccomycosis and moniliosis and has excellent winter hardiness. The fruits are dark red, the separation from the stalk is dry. The pulp is dark red, medium density, juicy, with a pleasant sweet and sour taste. The juice is dark red.
Ripens in mid-July. It quickly begins to bear fruit. A 5x3 planting pattern is recommended (on cherry rootstock).
For a long time it was impossible to buy seedlings of this variety. Now it is on sale, and the popularity of the ancient variety is returning.
The variety is called Podbelsky, but you can find it under different names- Kochs Ostheimer, Minister von Podbielski, Kochova, Minister Podbielski, Podbielski.
The weight of the berry is 5 grams or more. But the most important thing is its taste. The ratio is almost the same as in Dessert Morozov, but there is a harmonious sourness and a very pleasant cherry aroma. It begins to bear fruit in 3-4 years, after which it slowly grows, reaching a maximum in 22-31 years, when a record harvest of 145 kg was recorded from the tree. It has been noticed that the warmer the climate, the greater the harvest. For example, in Crimea, over the course of 10 years, an average of 76 kg of berries were taken from a tree, and in Krasnodar - much less.
The variety is self-sterile. The best pollinators are English early, May Duke, Griot Ostheimsky, Lotovaya, Anadolskaya, as well as cherry varieties.
Shows average resistance to fungal diseases. Drought resistance and heat resistance are also average.
If the Chernokorka cherry variety grows in the garden, it makes sense to plant the Shalunya variety nearby. They pollinate each other perfectly. Minx very quickly begins to produce crops in the third year, catching up and surpassing Chernokorka in terms of productivity. At the same time, it is resistant to diseases, has large berries of 5-6.5 g, flat-round in shape, almost black. The pulp is dark red, tender, juicy, the taste is sweet and sour, refreshing. Ripening period - 2-3 decades of June.
Its disadvantage is that the variety is self-sterile. The best pollinators are the Chernokorka and Samsonovka cherry varieties and the Vinka cherry variety.
There are so many varieties of cherries that a novice gardener can get confused. There are over 150 species approved for breeding in the State Register. Therefore, the question of which cherry variety will be best for middle zone Russia, sounds more and more often.
The situation is complicated by the fact that there is no such information on the Internet, and gardening guides are difficult to obtain. The reader has to look through dozens of websites, familiarize himself with hundreds of varieties, and then choose common cherries on his own, at his own peril and risk.

Vladimir cherry grew in Russia even under our ancestors more than three centuries ago. The majority of cherry trees on collective farms of the last century were of this particular variety. Over such a long period of time, several varieties have appeared. There are both two-meter bushes and four-meter trees. Productivity cannot be called a strong point of the Vladimir cherry; its fruits are small or medium in size (up to 3.5 g). However, her dark berries very tasty, considered dessert. They are good fresh, but they are also used for all kinds of processing, freezing, and drying. The harvest begins already in the third year of cherry growth on the site. The harvest takes place in mid-July.
Vladimirskaya cherry has long been zoned in different regions and can withstand very very coldy. But at temperatures below 30°C, the buds already suffer, which has a bad effect on the future harvest.
Ease of care and frost resistance are some of the the most important qualities for any fruit crop. No matter how tasty the berries the cherry produces, it is unlikely to be of much use if it freezes or hurts. When a shrub or tree grows in a country house, it is not always possible to provide it with constant serious care. I would like it to require a minimum of attention. Listed below are the most resistant and time-tested varieties that winter well in the middle zone. Some of them can be considered the most common.

Cherry - fruit crop, which is in high demand among Russian gardeners. The fruits can have a pale red or almost black tint, round, semicircular, or heart-shaped.
They contain many vitamins, minerals and other valuable substances. Cherries are consumed fresh, frozen, and used for making compotes, jams, desserts and other dishes.
The greatest demand in our latitudes is for ordinary or sour berries. More detailed information You will find information about the varieties of cherries, as well as the principles of their classification, in this review.
Let's consider the varieties of cherries taking into account the type of tree.
Taking into account the timing of ripening, crops are divided into medium, early and late.
Those cherry varieties that ripen in early June and until mid-July are called early. They produce berries that are not very sweet, and frost resistance is usually good. Kinds:
Mid-early cherries are those that ripen in mid-summer. These varieties have the best taste. Popular varieties:
Cherry variety Kharitonovskaya.
Late varieties ripen last, closer to the beginning of autumn. Popular varieties:
The key to successful cultivation of cherries is the correct choice of variety, taking into account the climatic characteristics of a particular region. About the best varieties cherries for Siberia read in.
Some varieties of cherries tolerate frost well and still produce good harvests. These include:
19 of the best cherry varieties for the Urals are described.
For the Moscow region, choose varieties that are unpretentious to soil composition and resistant to frost.
There are a lot of types of cherries, let’s look at the main ones:
Use cherries fresh or put them into processing. Transportability is mediocre, the harvest ripens in August.
Cherry varieties with large dessert berries are not inferior to sweet cherries in taste characteristics. Their only drawback is capriciousness in care and demanding climatic conditions. Varieties:
Cherries are placed in a separate category, which not only produce delicious fruits, but also become the main decoration of the garden. The most popular variety is . The tree grows in Northern China, Japan, Korea, and nature reserves. Ornamental shrub It has compact sizes and a rounded shape, comes with flexible shoots and graceful green foliage. The main advantage of the variety is its very beautiful bloom densely double snow-white flowers.
Ferruginous cherry blossoms throughout May and becomes the main decoration of the garden. The cherry variety is also classified as decorative.
The shoots are flexible, smooth, red-brown in color, and quite thin. The leaves are oblong green. The culture develops best in well-lit areas. It needs moderate watering, the soil is neutral, sandy loam, nutritious loam. The tree looks very beautiful together with coniferous trees, and is used for landscaping not only private properties, but also the territories of cottage villages.
Planting cherries usually begins with selection. Qualitative planting material should be about a meter in height, come with a developed root system and be about a meter in height. There should be no signs of damage or disease. On sale you can find one- and two-year-old seedlings with closed and open roots.
The main danger of a spring acquisition is that it is difficult to understand whether a seedling is alive or not. Scratch the skin - if you see wet greenish tissue, then it is alive, and if there are none, then it is dead.
You can buy seedlings in autumn or winter; it is best to do this in garden centers who are ready to guarantee the quality of plants. Autumn seedlings usually stronger and healthier, and the choice after summer is richer, but in regions with cold winters such planting can result in the death of the crop.
The first thing you should pay attention to when purchasing is root system. If it is old and dry, the plant does not take root well.
Find the budding site - it is usually located at a height of 10 cm from the root collar. Here the trunk bends a little, and then grows to the side. If such a sign is absent, this is most likely not a varietal planting material, but an ordinary seedling. One-year-old seedlings are about 90 cm in height, two-year-olds are 2 meters. A one-year-old has at least 2 shoots, a two-year-old has 12 or more. But the seedling may not have branches - this is normal if the trunk thickness is at least 2 cm. After planting, the plant will need to be crowned - cut off the top of the head by 20 cm above the bud.

Today it is quite easy to select good varieties of cherries - many modern cherries do not need to select pollinators, whereas in the past this was a problem. We present a convenient table for selecting cherries, which accumulates data on old and new varieties with photos, names and descriptions.
The first mention of cherries dates back to the 4th century BC. Theophastus, a Greek naturalist and one of the fathers of botany, described in his work “Cerasus” (cherries and sweet cherries). A more precise delineation of stone fruits was given in a botanical work of 1491 called Herbarius. The love for this berry is inherent in us genetic level. The first cherry trees were brought to the territory of Russia in the middle of the 14th century, and by the beginning of the 15th century, cherries gained fame as a cult tree.
Cherry (Prunus cerasus) has become popular for a reason; its fruits contain a rich vitamin complex and many other useful substances. The fruits are used fresh, dried, frozen, boiled and canned. Foliage, stalks, bark, roots and small branches are in demand in cooking and folk medicine.
Cherry is a bush or tree up to 7 m tall, with pointed, elliptical leaves, white, fragrant flowers. The size of the fruit depends on the variety, the flowering and ripening period is also different. The taste of the berries is mainly sweet and sour. Cherry, among all stone fruit trees, has the greatest winter hardiness. It bears fruit mainly on last year's growths.
The common cherry (Cerasus vulgaris) is more common in our gardens; it loves sunny, sheltered from the cold wind, elevated areas. Grows well on light, cultivated, fertile, well-permeable, neutral soils with a level groundwater no higher than 2 m. The table offers varieties grouped by ripening time:

When choosing a seedling, gardeners (especially beginners) often focus exclusively on the high quality of the fruit; such a selection criterion is fraught with disappointment. Let's figure out why this happens and learn how to choose the right seedlings so that in the future the cherry tree does not get sick and brings a bountiful harvest.
In fact, it happens that grafted seedlings are already infected with tinder fungus in the nursery, since the grafted sections are poorly processed.
Important selection criteria are good quality seedlings, a developed, healthy root system and tight bark at the grafting site (without stumps).
It is better to plant cherries in the spring (mid-April); a tree planted in autumn or summer will not have time to get stronger and is unlikely to overwinter normally. Bush-like varieties should be placed at a distance of 2 or 3 m from each other, tree-like varieties from 2.5 to 4 m. The pit should be about 50 cm deep and up to 60 cm wide. All damaged areas of the root should be removed. You can add a little to the soil for backfilling the seedlings. organic fertilizers(humus, compost).
Having buried the tree, prepare a ditch for watering around the cherry tree - dig a small hole about 30 cm from it. For the first watering of a seedling, two or three buckets of water are enough; do not allow moisture to stagnate. Make sure that the roots are not exposed during watering; sprinkle them.
Another way to plant is in a mound. All stone fruits (including cherries) do not tolerate spring floods, and planting on a small hill will protect the roots and root collar from damping off. By the way, even if you plant on a flat area, by autumn, level all the ditches so that melt water does not accumulate, and trunk circle mulch or sod.
Cherry tree care includes watering, formative tree pruning or stretching, fertilization, as well as prevention and control of pests and diseases.
It is advisable to feed cherries in the fall; bird droppings, compost, manure or special organomineral fertilizers can be used as fertilizers. In the spring, you can carry out light nitrogen fertilizing with weed infusion.
Any fertilizers are applied in small quantities, with a weak concentration, since it is not the tree that needs to be fed, but the soil microflora. And the microbes will take care of the nutrition of the cherries.
Most cherry varieties are highly drought-resistant, but this does not mean that an adult tree does not need watering at all. You can water cherries in the spring during the period of active flowering and fruit ripening, as well as immediately after picking the berries. The last one - winter watering is carried out closer to the second half of October (7 buckets under a bush or tree).
The crown can be formed by thinning or shortening. The first method involves removing branches in a ring and entirely - the crown will become smaller, which will contribute to better access of wind and light to the berries. Shortening involves pruning branches (longer than 40 cm), the process stimulates the formation of new branches.
Optimal forms crowns for cherries in a private garden - cup-shaped, spindle-shaped, sparsely tiered.
Pruning of branches is carried out in the fall, when the tree has entered a dormant state. All cut areas thicker than 2 cm must be treated with clay and manure mash. Formation young tree pruning slows down the fruiting process and at the same time accelerates the growth of cherries. Bending down the branches (stretching), on the contrary, provokes the formation and ripening of bouquet branches. But this will need to be discussed in more detail a little later.
You can protect yourself from shoot moths and aphids by spraying the tree with tobacco-garlic infusion. We described earlier how to deal with sawfly. Hawthorn feeds on buds and cherry foliage; it is good to deal with it with the help of biological agents and insecticides.
The plum moth uses cherry fruits to lay eggs; Fitoverm, Lepidotsid or Bitoxibacellin will help get rid of it, as well as replanting rooted tomato shoots in the garden. If you find worms in the fruits, you will need to take care of protection from.
Preventive spraying is carried out in the spring, and not only the tree, but also the tree trunks should be treated. For more successful pest control, the following will help: autumn work, such as covering cuts and trunks with clay and manure mash and removing damaged branches. Upon the onset of the first frost, you can treat the tree trunk circle and crown with a solution of farmiod.
Care should be taken to protect the tree from frost at the planting stage; most often, the young cherry tree is tilted at an angle of 45° and several pegs are hammered near the seedling, then roofing material is pulled over them. Another option is to lay a thick layer of snow, on top of which sprinkle sawdust. If your region has a mild climate with snowy winters, an adult cherry tree does not need additional shelter.
Here, in fact, is all the most important information about how to choose a cherry tree for planting and how to plant it correctly. And in this video you will find additional tricks about growing cherries in the Moscow region:
As you can see, selection has come a long way, and now many modern varieties They do well without pollinators, as they are self-fertile. We hope that the proposed photos with the names of cherry varieties and their descriptions will help you choose good seedlings for your garden.
