Slimovo Cherry Hybrid, Landing and Care

Slimovo Cherry Hybrid, Landing and Care

Fruit and berry bone cultures are a central part of any garden plot. In most cases, you can meet only a few popular precipitations and cherry varieties, features and characteristics of which everyone is known. However, the most devoted gardeners each season are in the search for completely new species and varieties of bone crops that have greater yield and endurance. Scientists breeders are also regularly engaged in the elimination of new improved hybrid varieties that are immediately popular. A plum-cherry hybrid is a completely new and surprising variety, which was obtained by crossing cherries and plums - close in their structure of bone crops. A plum-cherry hybrid, landing and care for which is practically no different from the cultivation of ordinary varieties of cherries and plums, will become an excellent supplement home garden.

To understand all the intricacies of growing this tree, in this article we consider the features and description of the plum-cherry hybrid, we present a detailed description of the popular varieties of this bone culture. We note important rules and nuances of agrotechnics of growing a plum-cherry hybrid.

Features and morphological description of a plum-cherry hybrid

Plums and cherries are related bone cultures that have a number of common and similar signs. It was this fact that pushed breeders from around the world to try to crush these two cultures. As a result, both other, better, hardy and yield varieties of a plum-cherry hybrid were obtained. For the first time to cross the cherry and plum tried in the United States. The breeder's scientist, Professor Ganzen crossed the American Vesche and Japanese Cherries. Thanks to a large and fruitful work, the obtained hybrid variety received many positive qualities of their parents. From the American cherry, a plum-cherry hybrid was unpretentious in cultivation and care, as well as resistance to various changing environmental conditions. From Japanese plum, the hybrid inherited a large size of berries and wonderful taste.

In Russia, many scientists were carried out in Russia to obtain a plum-cherry hybrid, among which there are thykhon scientists. Thanks to its work on the crossing of the American Cherry of the Bezness with the Ussuriy Drug, the first domestic varieties of a plum-cherry hybrid were obtained. The work on the removal of new varieties of this variety of bone culture is carried out throughout Russia. Their goal is to obtain culture varieties with maximum resistance to climatic conditions, including frost resistance, increased unpretentiousness, high harvest and better flavor of berries.

Description of the plum and cherry hybrid:

  • A plum-cherry hybrid is a federated bone culture that begins his fruiting for the second year after landing. This is one of the advantages of this hybrid.
  • These are low-spirited trees that grow most often in the form of splashing shrubs and can reach only 120-150 cm, less often 200 cm. The height of the hybrid can vary greatly depending on the specific variety.
  • Thanks to low growth, these cultures fit perfectly into any garden plot even with a small square. They will not shade other plants, simultaneously having a lot of space. In addition, the low growth of plum-cherry hybrids greatly facilitates care for them and harvest.
  • The spreading branches of a plum-cherry hybrid form a different crown, which is also different at varieties. It can be any, from stalancing to pyramidal.
  • The root system is quite powerful and branched, which helps the culture relatively easily transferring drought and withstand even Siberian frosts.
  • The leaves of the new derived culture are more reminiscent of the leaf plate of plums - it is as wide, inversely or elliptical, with a served edge. The leaves are arranged alternately, attached to short stiffs. The lower part of the sheet plate has a slight omission. The color of the foliage is saturated green.
  • The flowering of a plum-cherry hybrid begins much later than the parent species. It is also a great advantage, as it avoids return freezers, thereby retaining the marking and future harvest. Although, according to many gardeners, even surviving frosts, these cultures give a good harvest.
  • During flowering, this hybrid is completely covered with small white flowers that exude a pleasant fragrance. Seeing the plum-cherry hybrid in the spring, when the bark of the tree itself is not visible due to snow-white colors, everyone will certainly be surprised and amazed.

  • Another valuable advantage of the derived hybrid is high yield. By the end of the ripening of fruits, almost all branches are thrown into the ground from their gravity. That is why experienced gardeners set the contour support around the busta at 80 cm from the ground so that the branches with the fruits lay on it.
  • The full ripening of fruits of a cream-cherry hybrid occurs around the end of August or in early September.
  • The fruits of culture have completely different sizes and shapes. One variety of a berry can be elongated with reddish-brown skin, in another hybrid variety can ripen small rounded yellowish tint berries.
  • The skin in fruits most often thin and resembles a drain. The taste of most also reminds the taste of plums, but there are varieties and with a taste of cherry and cherries.
  • It is important to remember that this culture is self-visible, i.e. To obtain fruits on the site, it is necessary to land several varieties of hybrid or varieties of maternal bone culture.
  • Sloves and cherry hybrids are distinguished by high frost resistance and late maturation, which allows you to grow its varieties in the middle lane of Russia and even in Siberia.
  • The berries of this culture are used to prepare jam, jam, confiture, jam, compote. They are very juicy and fragrant taste.

Popular varieties of plum-cherry hybrid

To date, scientists with breeders have a large number of varieties of a plum-cherry hybrid. Among the variety of obtained plants, not only foreign varieties of American selection, but also the plum-cherry hybrids obtained by the work of domestic scientists are distinguished. Consider the most popular varieties of this unusual culture.

  • The variety of a plum-cherry hybrid "Omskaya Net." The grade is a fairly low tree, which can be achieved only 110-140 cm in height, so externally resembles a low-cut splashing bush. Full ripening of fruit comes to the second half of August. Berries are large, saturated black and with a juicy flesh. The weight of one fetus can be on average 15 grams. The variety is distinguished by high yield, from one bush you can collect about 30-40 kg of fruits.

  • The variety of a plum-cherry hybrid "Beta". This variety is a low-spirited tree, which externally resembles a bush. The height can most reach 1.4-1.5 m. Crown at the tree in the form of a stream. Fruits rounded shape, dark red. The weight of one fetus is approximately 15 grams. The pulp inside the red shade, very juicy and sweet, to the taste resembles a cherry. The bone of this variety is small and poorly separated from the pulp. The beta variety is characterized by a very abundant harvest, which is considered one of the best among all varieties of this hybrid.
  • Grade of a plum-cherry hybrid "OPATA". This variety is a mid-grade tree, which can be in height to reach 2 meters. Crown of culture rounded and rare, wide-scattered. The fruits of this grade of the hybrid of the oblong oval shape, the weight of one can be approximately 15-20 grams. After ripening, the fruits become red-brown, the pulp inside the yellow-green, very juicy and sweet. The yield is relatively high, when ripening fruits is thickly sprinkled branches that lean themselves from their gravity to the earth itself. The variety is partly self-aged.
  • The variety of a plum-cherry hybrid "Pyramidal". The variety is a dwarf tree with a compressed pyramidal crown. Differs in high level of frost resistance. Abundant fruiting can begin for the second year after landing. Fruits weighing up to 15 grams, fruit color Light yellowish-salad, inside the pulp is also yellowish, very juicy and sweet, with small and pleasant sourness. The bone of the medium size is poorly separated from the pulp. The grade of self-visible, for polling it is necessary to plant seedlings of such varieties as an OPAT or Omskaya Net. A plum-cherry hybrid "Pyramidal" can be a bright decorative decoration of the site.

  • Mainor-cherry-cherry hybrid variety. This is a variety of Canadian selection. It is a dwarf tree, which looks outwardly reminiscent of an empty spherical bush. Differs good frost resistance.

  • Grade "Gem. The mid-grade tree, which in height can reach about 2-2.3 m. Crown is rare, fragile. Blossom comes late, not subject to freezing. It is resistant to frosts and gives a very good harvest. The fruits are large, the weight of one is 20 grams. The pulp inside the yellowish color, very juicy and pleasant taste. The grade is self-visible, so nearby the variety of pollinator is needed - Meinor.

Reproduction of a plum-cherry hybrid: the most common ways

A plum-cherry hybrid can also be independently obtained at home. For this, it is important to have an adult bone culture tree on the site and know important rules of all possible methods for reproducing this hybrid. Since this is an artificially derived hybrid species of wood, various cultural varieties are difficult to obtain with reproduction bones. Most often use three basic methods: this is a reproduction of stalling, horizontal gifts and vaccination. Consider the features of each reproduction of a plum-cherry hybrid.

Reproduction of a plum-cherry hybrid bone

  • This method for obtaining a full-fledged tree is rarely used, since as a result, you can get a completely unpredictable result, where the bone tree will not give such a good harvest, besides, the taste qualities of fruits can suffer.
  • However, this method still has the place to be and gardeners are used to obtain good imports for further reproduction by vaccination of the varieties of a plum-cherry hybrid.
  • Prepared for the reproduction of the bone of a plum-cherry hybrid must be stratified. For this, they are wrapped in a gauze or a cut of the tissue and placed in the refrigerator. The stratification process lasts approximately from November to March.
  • In early March, the bone is planted in a pot filled with nutrient soil, after which the landing is watered, and the container itself put on a sunny place.
  • Regularly need to care, water and ventilate.
  • In the fall, a bit of the grown seedlings planted on growing in a greenhouse or a greenhouse.
  • After about a year, a young seedling will be ready for landing at a permanent place.
  • It can be used as a flow to obtain a varietal tree of a plum-cherry hybrid, as well as for growing independently wood with new characteristics.

The reproduction of a plum-cherry hybrid

  • This method of breeding is much more common to obtain young hybrid trees. The plum-cherry hybrid rarely forms the root pig, which can also be used for breeding, so the cuttings are cut from young shoots.
  • It is necessary to harvest the seating material at the beginning of the summer when there is an active vegetation and the growth of young shoots on the tree.
  • It is important to choose a strong and healthy shoot on the culture and cut the cuttings with a length of 30-40 cm. In this case, cut the cuttings only on a cloudy day or early in the morning, when the sun has not yet looked out.
  • Further, all cuttings are cut from the bottom of them, thereby cutting off the bottom sheet, leaving only the petiole. The top also cut the escape over the third leaf.
  • After the cuttings, all the prepared cuttings connect together if you plan to land a few seedlings, and put on the entire night into the solution of the rooting agent, immersing the lower part to the depth of 1.5-2 cm.
  • To root the cuttings is needed in a warm greenhouse, so prepare the container with the soil mixture in advance consisting of peat and sand.
  • Pour the soil with water and root the cuttings at an angle of 45 degrees and at a distance of 6-7 cm from each other.
  • The cuttings must be covered with a kind of transparent dome and put on a bright place.
  • Regularly planting material is watered and ventilated. A month later, the cuttings are rooted and the dome can be removed.
  • In September, the cuttings dig up and deposit in a barn or in a trench, covered with moss and sawdust.
  • On a permanent place, the seedlings from Chenkov are planted only in two years.

Reproduction of a plum-cherry hybrid horizontal chain

  • This method is also used to reproduce a plum-cherry hybrid, so trees of this species have a low growth and an empty shape of the bush.
  • Spent reproduction in spring, approximately at the end of May or in early June, when young shoots are actively emerging.
  • In an adult plant, it is necessary to choose the closest to the surface of the earth to shoot and carefully burn them to the groove prepared in advance.
  • We must be fixed with the help of a bracket or wire so that they do not return to its original position.
  • The central part lying on the ground branches is sprinkled by the soil, leaving only the top.
  • After that, the tanks are abundantly watered. In the future, the young plants carefully take care of the same as behind an adult tree.
  • After the glands will be allowed good and strong roots, they can be disconnected from the mother's bush and transplant to a permanent place or to grow, if the seedling is not yet strong enough.

Landing a plum-cherry hybrid

Planting hybrid varieties does not differ from the cultivation of other types of cherries and plums. This process requires the same thorough preparation, the choice of an ideal place and high-quality planting material.

Selection and purchase of planting material of a plug-cherry hybrid

  • First of all, any gardener needs to choose the variety of a plum-cherry hybrid, and acquire high-quality seedlings.
  • By applying the methods described above, you can independently get planting material. However, this is possible if there is an adult tree on the plot.
  • If you do not have free time, you can buy a drainage and cherry hybrid planting material to buy in specialized garden centers or nurseries who are professionally engaged in breeding a plant.
  • It is not worth buying dubious seedlings in the natural markets and in the roads, since in this case the likelihood is great to acquire young seedlings of ordinary plum or cherry. Even experienced gardeners can not always determine where the hybrid saplings, and where species varieties of plum or cherry.
  • It is also important to remember that almost all varieties of a plum-cherry hybrid self-visible, so to obtain a large yield of delicious fruits, it is necessary to purchase seedlings of several varieties or additionally to the hybrid seedlings to buy a seedling of Cherry Bezness.
  • Before buying, you will definitely carefully inspect the planting material. Saplings must have a fresh and healthy appearance, they should not be damaged and patients. The roots must be elastic, without traces of mold and rot.
  • The acquisition of planting material must be based on your preferences regarding hybrid varieties, the colors and the size of the fruits, the terms of fruction and frost resistance.

Choosing a place and soil for planting a plum-cherry hybrid

  • The plum-cherry hybrid prefers to grow at outdoor places.
  • It is also important to provide a young plant against strong wind. To this end, the seedlings can be planted from the south side of the house or near the buildings.
  • If you plant a culture from the northern side, then a number of high shrubs can be planted for protection.
  • The soil for planting should be loose and nutritious, contain in its composition peat, organic and complex mineral fertilizers.
  • Also important is a good drainage and thermal insulation. Therefore, gardeners most often form peculiar high hollys, on which seedlings are planted.

Technology planting a plum-cherry hybrid

  • Planting seedlings in open soil is only necessary after all frost and complete soil warming. That is why many gardeners are recommended to acquire seedlings in containers that are not afraid of frosts and more easily transfer landing.
  • Next it is important to prepare the seat. For this, the bulk pit is digging, the size of which must be twice the root system, and the depth is 70-80 cm.
  • In the soil, it is necessary to add humid, superphosphate, wood ashes, complex mineral fertilizer.
  • On the bottom of the landing pit, place a layer of drainage from broken bricks. It is also important between the drainage layer and the seedliness to build a heat-insulating layer of wood residues.
  • Next, the seedlings are placed in prepared landing pits and carefully fall asleep with their nutrient soil.
  • After planting, the seedlings are abundantly watering with water, and the suggestion circle falls asleep with a layer of mulch. As a mulch, you can use sawdust, bark of trees or pure peat.
  • At this stage, you can also build a circular support with a wooden bar. It will support branches during crop maturation.

Agrotechnique of growing cream-cherry hybrid: secrets and nuances of care

Care of the plum-cherry hybrid is practically no different from the care of species varieties of cherries and plums and lies in timely watering, feeding, pruning and processing trees from pests and diseases.

  • Watering. During the period of active vegetation, this hybrid is recommended to moisturize about 3-5 times. You can navigate on the state of the soil - it should dry to a depth of up to 40 cm. In this case, under each tree of a plum-cherry hybrid, it is necessary to make 5-6 buckets of water, if the tree is fruit, then about 10 buckets of water are made. It is also important to carry out a cubization of trees so that they charge the nutrient elements.
  • Feeding Of all the feedstock, the most optimal is the introduction of ash trees, which contains all the necessary elements except nitrogen. Nitrogen fertilizers are not recommended to be made until the tree becomes good to be fruitful, as the result can go to the growth of shoots, which will affect the crop. It is also recommended to carry out 3-4 spraying with complex mineral fertilizers such as uniflor. In the fall, it is also recommended to feed the bone cultures with potash fertilizers, which enhance the ability of the hybrid to resist bad weather conditions.
  • Treatment of trees. The first prophylactic treatment of a plum-cherry hybrid is carried out in spring until the start of active intake. In this case, the urea solution can be used, which will help kill surviving pests. You can also make a zircon culture. The second spraying is carried out in the fall.
  • Trimming a plum-cherry hybrid. Pruning this plant is carried out in the same way as circumscribed by the usual plum. During the spring trimming, remove all damaged or broken branches, as well as shoots that thicken the crown. It is also recommended to make a piece of all points of growth and long young shoots.
