- It is fundamentally important to the stability of flower kidney to a minus temperature, because the area is characterized by repeated frosts in spring. If you do not correctly pick up the variety, then the buds fall during frosts, albeit short-term.
- Experienced gardeners note that cherries in the suburbs are increasingly exposed to fungal diseases. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the types of dwarf cherry, which is resistant to such plant diseases.
- For the fruit garden it is necessary to choose a variety of cultures that are capable of self-pollution and bloom at the same time. These plants have a special structure of bud and they are able to pollinate until the flower opening. In conventional dwarf cherries, the absence of a pollinator due to weather conditions will lead to the fact that the zeror will not be formed. This fact will negatively affect the yield.

Dwarf cherry - choice of place and disembarkation
- To obtain good yields, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the growing varieties of cherry. The only condition that must be taken into account when landing the saplings of a dwarf cherry is its height.
- The plant refers to a light-affiliated culture, so it needs a free space in the garden plot. Cherry does not even love her half. Carefully choose a landing plot and make sure that other bushes and trees will discard the shadow on the dwarf varieties of cherry. Well for growth will fit the south side in the garden.
- It is also not desirable to plant other trees around the cherry, especially coniferous. Such types of plants belong to the pedders of infectious diseases for fruit crops.
- The perfect soil for growing dwarf cherries is the sandy. Such soil has sufficient frills, which contributes to good air circulation and quickly misses moisture. Sugglock is suitable for landing, but it must be mixed with sand and ploy after rain and watering. On clay soil, low-spirited shrubs do not fit.
- When choosing a relief for landing of dwarf trees, give preference to lightweight. Although the root system is in the upper ground layer and the groundwater is not terrible, avoid lowlands. They can accumulate melt water and moisture after the rain.
- For landing of a dwarf cherry, choose an annual seedlings or two-year-old. They have already passed acclimatization and fastened. At this age, the plants quickly come out in a new place and will provide a rapid growth, which will have a positive effect on the yield.
- Before planting a seedling, carefully inspect the roots. Dry and sick processes should be removed using a secaterator. If there are traces of pests, then carry out the necessary treatment with gardening preparations. Then the root part of the plant is soaked in water for 7-10 hours.
- Place for landing should be prepared since the autumn. The soil is drunk, it is made of phosphorus and potassium-based manure and fertilizers. It is important not to exceed the number of feeding the number specified in the instructions. The land is reappeared and left until spring.
- In the spring period, a well with sufficient depth should be cut down before disembarking. This is necessary so that the seedlock can resist in the wind. The soil from the pit is mixed with nitrogen fertilizers.
- The depth of the wells should be equal to half the height of the plant. In the center of the pit, learn the wooden support, put on the bottom of the handful of the prepared soil. Root seeds gently straighten and sprinkle. As the soil is added to the well, slightly tamper it with his hands.
- Make a low mound around the wells so that the moisture remains near the tree. Be sure to tie a barrel of a seedling to the support until the moment of rooting. After planting a latch cherry, burst the ground and paint 1-2 buckets of warm water depending on dryness and soil type.
- It is possible to propagate the culture in the garden plot not only by purchased seedlings, but also with stalling or with the help of melting. These methods are used after the ripening of the first harvest and 2-3 years before the end of the life of the plant.
- At the same time, consider that new plants will begin to bloom only for 2 or 3 years of growth, and fruit only for the next year. You can collect a full-fledged harvest you can 5-7 years after the branch of the maternal branch.
Dwarf cherry - care and feeding
- Special care for short types of cherry from you will not need. The main thing is to choose the right variety depending on the cultivation region. The only difference in care is the need to trim. It is carried out on the basis of the features of the crown of dwarf cherries.
- Watering is carried out as needed. So in the arid periods it must be increased, as in the time of ripening of fruits. If you are tightening rain, then you will often have to loosen the soil around the tree, which will help you to get out of excess moisture.
- During loosening, pull out weeds. Try to do it before the start of their flowering, so that the seeds do not get into the ground. In the spring after the formation of the renal, the trunk of the plant must be cheered by lime. It will save the tree from pests.
- After winter and before the start of flowering, carefully inspect each twig and the trunk, since after frosts some processes can die. Cut the damaged branches by the secateur, the cut must be treated with ashes. In the fall of the leaves and the fallen branches of a healthy plant can be used as a humus.
- If the cherry stopped fruit, then this is not necessarily the result of the defeat of any disease. Perhaps the flowers of the dwarf cherry did not pass pollination. For varieties that are not independently pollinated, it is necessary to attract bees and other insect pollinators. To do this, make a weak syrup solution and spray the branches with flowers.
- Support must be carried out not only depending on the variety of low-speed plants, but also the growth period. So the very first making of fertilizers begins before the flowering period, when the kidneys appeared. At this stage, it is important to use feeding with nitrogen content.
- During the flowering period, the organic is allowed. Carefully determine the concentration of chicken litter and green feeding. Since these types of fertilizers are brought by the roar method, the excessive amount of feeding can be injured close to the root surface.
- In the summer, fertilizers need 2-3 times. The feeding should be based on nitrogen-containing funds, the break between which is 3 weeks. After fruiting plant requires organic fertilizers and compost.
- After you have collected the entire harvest and before wintering, mineral fertilizers should be made, such as: phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Also at high acidity of the soil in your garden, it should be conducted to be loving before the onset of cold weather.
- The lack of food can be determined by the "behavior" of the tree. If the flowers, marking or fruits begin to crumble, then it is necessary to make a feeder depending on the growth period of the cherry. To the fertilizer to mix epin.
Dwarf cherry - Diseases and pests
- Each variety of dwarf cherries is distinguished by resistance to certain diseases of plants. In most cases, this type of fruit trees or shrubs is susceptible to fungal diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to often inspect the culture for the presence of fungus.
- Most often, low-spirited cherries are affected by moniliosis, a dangerous variety of fungal disease of the fruit tree. You can determine it by drying the plant immediately after flowering. If it does not handle the plant with fungicides on time, then dry rot, which will strike other trees in the garden will begin to appear. Do not wait until the disease strikes the cherry, conduct preventive measures before the flowering period of culture.
- Cherry pests are most often affected by Tli. Saplings and plants are especially suffering from it during the emergence of young leaves and new shoots. The first processing of oleocupritis or drug nitrafen must be carried out before the kidneys dissolve. If the word does not disappear, then re-spray plants should be before the start of flowering. In this case, insecticides are also used.
- Not only branches and leaves may be affected by pests, but also fruits. The reason for the presence of worms in the pulp of berries is a cherry fly. It winter in the soil under the tree, and with the onset of the fertilization period, eggs inside cherries. Processing of plants insecticides from this pest must be carried out twice. The first is carried out during the flowering of acacia when the Earth warmed well, the second time to process the plants is necessary after 10 days, but 2 weeks before the start of the ripening of fruits.
How to trigger a dwarf cherry
- If you first planted the lowest variety of cherries, then you first need to learn about the process of flowering plants and its fruiting. So the formation of the crown will be beneficial for the plant and increase fruiting. A method of trimming will depend on the variety of a dwarf cherry, as Kruna Cherry is formed quite differently than the tree plant.
- The main rule of the trimming of the dwarf cherry is observing its time. Trim new sprouts should be in early spring before the start of the formation of the kidneys when the juice has not yet started circulating inside the branches. By this, you will strengthen the further growth of the plant and give it to graze during flowering.
- The first trimming is carried out immediately after planting a seedling. Krone must give the initial form. Select the central barrel, around which the skeleton of branches will be formed. All processes should be cut at a distance of 40 cm. From the surface of the soil.
- For tree varieties of dwarf cherries, only 5 strong and healthy branches are left. The bush types of culture takes up to 10 processes. The remaining branches should be located on different sides of the trunk. Excess and weak processes are removed, and the place of cut is handled ashes.
- Subsequent trimming is carried out with the main branches. To add new processes to them so that after complete formation of the crown, the villages of the cherry turned out to be 10 major branches, and bush varieties up to 15 pcs. All branches that grow inside the crown should be trimmed.
- There are some varieties of cherries that do not need trimming. For them, it will be enough to remove dry and damaged branches until the flowering period occurs. Autumn trimming is carried out only with acute necessity.
Where to buy carlock cherry saplings
- For the first landing in the garden plot of lowest varieties of cherries, seedlings should be purchased. In order to further breed a culture, it will be enough to draw a shilling or use the grating to grow new plants.
- In the spontaneous markets, or with hands should not buy fruit cultures, as sellers are engaged in resale seedlings and cannot be confident in a specific grade. Give your preference to specialized nurseries. Their activities are aimed at growing a certain variety of low-speed cherries with their subsequent implementation.
- Saplings of dwarf cherries should be purchased in autumn, not in the spring. During this period, nurseries exhibit a large number of varieties for sale. Before spring, plants need to ensure proper storage. The landing will only have an early spring.
- Extra long trees with a large number of kidneys are worst lucky in a new place. They have already formed the root system and carefully remove it fail. Therefore, buy seedlings by age 1-2 years.
- When choosing a planting material, carefully inspect it on an external state. The branches should not have growths or be broken. Also any damage, even a small crack on the crust can lead to the death of the plant. A good root seedling is wet, as well without damage.
- The plant should not be dry. This can be checked on bending. If the bark, even from the easy inflection begins to flap, and the branches are fluttered, then the seedling is reheated. Moisturized roots when twisting in spiral elastic.
If you have decided to dilute in your garden plot of dwarf cherry, then carefully examine the variety of culture. For each variety, you need to create certain conditions for growing and apply the correct care. Only, in this case, you can collect a high harvest.
