Cherry varieties: for the Urals, Moscow region, self-fertile, undersized

Contents

New ones are added to hundreds of already existing varieties of sour cherries every year. Even an experienced gardener can easily get confused. 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 Our Country and neighboring countries.

Quick reference of terms

Cherry articles often contain terms whose meaning we do not know or misunderstand. Let’s 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 can produce up to 50% of a possible crop.

Partial self-fertility. Without pollinating varieties, only 7 to 20% of the berries will set.

Self-infertility. In the absence of a variety suitable for pollination, cherries will give no more than 5% of the crop.

Comment! For successful fruiting, the distance to the pollinator should not exceed 40 m.

Entering into fruition

Compared to other crops (except peach), cherries start fruiting early. Varieties are divided into three groups:

Early-fertile. The first crop is harvested in the third or fourth year after planting.

Medium fruit. Fruiting – in the fourth year.

Late pregnancy. Harvest begins to be harvested 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.

Interesting! The technical variety Lyubskaya, belonging to the common cherry, often blooms even in the nursery.

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:

Undersized. Tree, and 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 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 time

With this, everything seems to be clear. Varieties are:

Early ripening. They begin to bear fruit in late June – early July.

Mid-season. Harvest is in July.

Late ripe. Cherries ripen in August.

Attention! These terms are very approximate and are given for the main territory of Our Country. In Ukraine, for example, by the end of July, even most late varieties manage to finish fruiting.

Remember, the further south the region, the earlier the cherry ripens.

Appointment of fruit

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. Often they are 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 processed products from them are mediocre. They are distinguished by a “flat” taste and a weak aroma.

Cherry wood form

Cultivated cherry according to the shape of the plant is divided into two groups:

Shrub. It unites the steppe cherry and those varieties of the common one 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.

Treelike. Combines most varieties of ordinary cherries. It forms one trunk and bears fruit mostly on bouquet twigs, 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, which is noticeable even in table varieties.

Amoreli. Cherry varieties with pink fruits and light juice. They are much smaller, they are sweeter.

A short dictionary of hybrids

Recently, many hybrids have been created. Not least of all, this is due to the desire to develop varieties of cherries that are disease-resistant and able to endure severe frosts. In addition, residents of cold regions do not give up hope of getting sweet cherries suitable for growing in the North into their gardens.

Duke. A hybrid of cherries and sweet cherries.

Cerapadus. A hybrid of cherry and bird cherry Maaka, where cherry is the mother plant.

Padocerus. The result of crossing cherry with bird cherry, the mother plant is bird cherry Maaka.

Comment! Cherry-plum hybrids are classified as plums.

The best varieties: how to choose a cherry 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 culture. And the reason may be that they choose the wrong varieties.

Plant only cherries intended for your region or zoned. It would be a mistake to assume that southern varieties will not grow in the North, but vice versa – easily. If you decide to take a chance, take the trouble to go for cherries directly to the nursery. There is a golden rule for planting an “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 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 with 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 sprig of the desired variety onto the tree.
Think carefully about which cherries to plant. Don’t neglect the technical grades! Canteens look beautiful, eating them fresh is a pleasure. But the juice and jam from them are mediocre. Their taste is flat, “no”. 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 are eaten and forgotten, and jam and juice will delight us until the new harvest, diversifying the diet and making up for the lack of vitamins.
Looking through the characteristics of cherries, correlate the yield with the habit of the plant.
Tree size. Think carefully about the height of the cherry you will have “to the yard.” Collected from a two-meter tree or bush, 6-7 kg of fruits will all be eaten or processed. But a 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 also bloom early, it is difficult for them to get away from return frosts and wait for the departure of beneficial pollinating insects. It is better to get a decent harvest in two weeks or even a month than to enjoy flowering every year and buy cherries in the market.
Manure! It has nothing to do with varieties, but you can’t ignore it. 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 much of their attractiveness and fertility when the cow became a rarity on the farm! If you want an exemplary cherry – manure it!

Comment! If you need cherry varieties without shoots and with good winter hardiness, pay attention to bessey.

Classification

Now we will briefly consider the features of the varieties of common cherry, steppe and bessey (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:

Often varieties with other periods of fruiting act as pollinators. This is due to the flowering time – for cherries, from the moment the buds open to 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 temperature of the Urals or the Moscow Region.
In the column “yield” is often written “from the bush” or “from the tree.” This displays the woody form of the cherry.
If you do not have the opportunity or desire to process plants after flowering, choose resistant varieties of cherries to coccomycosis and moniliosis.
