Recommended dates
Сажать Путинку в открытый грунт лучше всего весной — в середине апреля. Летом и осенью проводить посадку тоже можно, но делать это лучше в южных регионах. В умеренном климате и северных областях вишня может не успеть окрепнуть к зиме и погибнет.
It is best to plant a tree in the spring so that it has time to get stronger.
Site selection and soil preparation
Putinka prefers well-lit, sunny places. The soil for the tree must be selected fertile, without stagnant moisture.
Before planting a seedling, it is necessary to prepare the soil. At the selected site, a hole is dug about 50 cm deep and about 60 cm in diameter, after which 1 kg of superphosphate, 2 buckets of rotted humus and 1 glass of slaked lime are laid on the bottom in layers.
How to plant
The landing algorithm for Putinka practically does not differ from the standard scheme:
- The planting hole is filled with soil and fertilizer to half.
- The seedling, previously soaked in water for a couple of hours, is carefully lowered into the pit, making sure that its roots do not get mixed up and break.
- The hole is covered with soil to the brim, and then the trunk circle is mulched.
Features of care
Putinka is quite unassuming in terms of growing conditions. However, the basic rules of care must be followed for her in order to get a good harvest.
Watering and fertilizing schedule
Cherry tolerates short droughts well, but does not tolerate moisture stagnation. Therefore, the plant is watered moderately, only in the hot summer months it is necessary to pour out 10-15 liters of warm water weekly over the diameter of the near-stem circle. Water cherries in the evening so that the water does not evaporate longer.
You also need to pay attention to watering during flowering and the formation of ovaries, when the cherry especially needs moisture and nutrients. If the summer turned out to be hot, then you need to water the cherry during the ripening of the berries, but no later than half a month before harvesting, otherwise the fruits may crack.
Water the plant moderately – Putinka does not like a long drought, but she does not tolerate waterlogging
Putinka cherries are fed mainly in the fall, shortly before the onset of cold weather. Compost, bird droppings and manure can be scattered around the trunk, and mixed mineral-organic fertilizers – sodium humate, humophos, peat-ammonia mixtures will also benefit the tree. In the spring, you can feed the cherry with nitrogen, this will contribute to the growth of green mass and good flowering.
Trimming
An excessively dense crown can harm yields, since the branches located in the depth, in this case, will not receive enough sunlight. When growing cherries, it is recommended to thin out, cut branches longer than 40 cm.
Also, annually it is necessary to assess the condition of the plant and carry out sanitary pruning – remove diseased and broken shoots. It is necessary to carry out pruning in the fall, during this period the cherry retires, and the procedure injures it less.
Preparation for winter
Хотя умеренные морозы вишня переносит хорошо, на зиму ее все равно лучше укрывать, особенно если дерево молодое. Подготовка к зиме заключается в том, что приствольный круг обильно мульчируют — это позволяет защитить от промерзания почву и корни.
The trunk of a cherry is covered with spruce branches. You can also wrap the trunk with non-woven material or light-colored burlap, they will additionally protect the tree from rodents.
For the winter, it is better to cover the trunk with a special material.
