Cherry: landing and care

Cherry, like the cherry, belongs to the family of rustic. And no wonder these cultures are so similar among themselves in appearance. So, in some countries, they even have the same names, for example, the British and Cherry, and the cherry call "Cherry", and the French are "Cerise". Even the famous work of A.P. Chekhov "Cherry Garden", many abroad call "Cherry Garden". However, even though the cherry and cherry are related cultures, they still have several differences, both by the method of growing trees and in the taste of the fruits (a sweetheart has a sweet taste, cherry - "with sourness"). Next, we will tell you more about the characteristics of cherry, on planting and leaving for this culture.

Characteristics of cultural varieties

In order for the sweet cherry to give a rich and tasty harvest, you need the right caring for trees. If all the landing and care conditions are observed, the tree in height can grow to 18-19 meters. In addition, it can be collected annually from each of them by 40-45 kg of berries. However, it is worth saying that the tree begins to be fruit not immediately after the landing, but must pass 4-6 years. A plentiful and full crop of a cherry pleasing gardeners only for the 9-10th year after landing.

Planting cherry

Cherry - a light-affilome plant. Therefore, solar canopies are suitable for planting trees. The soil for a culture disembarking should be sufficiently fertile, well aerated, moisture. For this purpose, light medium-linous or sampling soils are suitable. Do not land trees in windy places where there are often drafts. Since the cherry is a cross-pollinated culture, it is recommended to plant it next to the sickness of another variety or with cherry. Thus, trees flowers will be perfectly polluted, and the trees themselves are plenty.

It is worth saying that the cherry does not like an abundant watering and stagnation of water, so try to pick up a plot for the planting of the culture located far from the groundwater running.

In the northern parts of our country, cherry landing is carried out in spring, and in the southern - in the fall.

Cherish seedlings landing order:

1. It is preliminarily recommended to plow the ground.
2. Next landing wells are made. Each of them should be a depth of about 90 cm and a width of 80-100 cm.
3. It is worth remembering that the root system of sweet cherry is quite massive, so do not put the trees close to each other. The distance from one to another seedling should be at least 3-4 meters. In addition, some varieties of trees have a spreader crown, so plants can create shadow for each other. Be sure to consider this when landing seedlings.
4. Before planting trees, the soil cover must be "corrected". So, if the ground is clay, then 2 buckets of sand add to the landing fossa, if, on the contrary, the soil is sandy, then clay falls back in the well.
5. Then, a special soil mixture should be filled with a special soil mixture. It is located in its composition: 2 buckets of the earth, 2 kg of ammonium sulfate, 2 kg of superphosphates, potash fertilizers - 1 kg, wood ash, manure (32 kg).
6. Next, in each landing fossa, the support column is fixed to which the seedlock will then be linked. Try each tree when landing is located in the very center of the pit.
7. Then let the seedling towards the support and gently stick it. After landing, each color should be pouring.
8. Next is carried out mulching. For this, humus, peat, fond of foliage.

Care care

Cherry trimming

Care for cherries lies not only in timely watering and making fertilizers, but also in trimming the crown. The very first trimming is carried out immediately after planting a seedling in the hole. It is done in order to balance the underground and ground part of the seedling. So, 4 healthy branches are selected and cut into one third, the remaining branches are completely cut off.

The second trimming is carried out on the second year of the village's life. This is necessary so that several new side branches appear on the saplings.

Crown trees should have a scratched-tier look. The first tier consists of 3 major branches, the second - from 2 skeletal shoots, the third tier - from one branch. The active growth of the tree branches is observed in the first 5 years. It is during this period that an annual crown crown should be carried out.

Next, in the process of growth and adults, it is necessary to remove dry and damaged branches.

Watering, cleaning weeds from cherry

Cherry belongs to cultural plants. It does not tolerate nearby weed herbs. Therefore, it is recommended to make a timely weeping of a garden. There should be no weeds in the attractive circle. Every year, the priority zone should be expanded, so if in the first year it is approximately 80 cm, then to the second year of the village's life - there must be more than 1 meter. Then, annually should increase the rolling circle by 20-50 cm.

As for irrigation, then as mentioned above, the cherry does not like the abundance of water, so it is enough to water the trees three times a year. In addition, the soil should be mulched annually. For this, peat, foliage. Do not forget to loosen the soil in the rolling collar. After you did this, add fertilizer to the land.

There is a small secret from the gardeners, how to attract more bees to the tree and increase its pollinability. So, it is recommended to spray the tree with honey fluid during the summer period. Introducing pollinities, you can significantly increase the amount of harvest assembled.

Between the trees it is recommended to equip small beds on which to grow various garden crops. It will save the cherry in the winter and will save it from the harmful effects of frost.

As fertilizers for trees, it is suitable for dung, humid, aqueous infusion of ash, as well as nitrogen, potash and complex feeders. In addition, in the spring period to the ground, 70 g of urea is added around the cherry. In the spring and autumn tree trunks need to bleve. This will help protect the trees from the cracking of the cortex.
