To get a plentiful cherry crop, it is necessary to correctly select varieties, taking into account the climatic characteristics of the growing region and the characteristics of the variety. All varieties can be classified depending on the ripening time and divided into three types: early ripe, mid-ripening and late ripening.
Early grades
Early ripe cherries are most popular among gardeners, as it guarantees fruiting already in late May and early June. Early varieties differ in type of cultivation, berry size, yield and other parameters.
Valery Chkalov
A variety of cherries with a loud name is the result of spontaneous pollination of Caucasian pink. It was recommended for cultivation in the Caucasus, but took root over time in temperate climates. Passed the test of time. With the participation of the variety, many well-known sweet cherry varieties were bred. Valery Chkalov is considered partially self-fertile, but gives good yields if there are other sweet cherries nearby (for example, Early Mark, Skorospelka).
Fruits cherry for the fifth season. The berries form massive, heart-shaped, tasty and fragrant. Each weighs from 6 to 8 g. It is considered a dessert variety. Fruits contain vitamin C in a record amount of 21.5 mg per 100 g. Valery Chkalov is characterized by a tree size of 5-6 m with a pyramidal crown. From trees are removed from 50 to 150 kg of fruit, depending on the place of planting.
Sheepskin
A variety was obtained from the crossing of Compact Venyaminov and Leningrad Black. Introduced into the State Register for the Central region of the country. The tree is small, fast-growing, with a raised spherical crown. Fruits early and plentifully, starting from 4 years. It can self-pollinate, tying up to 5% of the fruit. It is advisable to plant pollinators nearby (Iput, Bryanskaya pink, Raditsa, etc.). The average yield is up to 100-102 kg / ha.
Cherry berries are medium, 4-4.5 g, rounded. Dark red flesh and peel, ovoid bone. The fruits are juicy, sweet, their taste is estimated at 4.2 out of 5 points. The variety is highly resistant to fungal diseases, tolerates winters. She was taken out for cultivation in the Central region, but she showed herself well in the south of the Non-Black Earth region.
Ariadne
A universal variety of early ripening cherries, zoned in the Central Black Earth region. Originator: All-Russian Research Institute of Genetics and Selection of Fruit Plants named after I.V. Michurin. Ariadne begins bearing fruit earlier than others, for the 3rd season. On tall trees with a pyramidal crown, medium-sized flat-round fruits are formed. The flesh is sweet, cartilaginous, the shell is dense, red. Taste excellent - 5 out of 5 points. The variety gives good yields (54 kg / ha) with good transportability. Sweet cherry is not afraid of cold weather. No flaws were detected in the variety.
April
The variety was bred at the end of the 19th century from the unclear origin of the seedling. Since 1947, it has been zoned in the North Caucasus and the Lower Volga region. April is common throughout the country, gardeners are valued as a variety of early maturity: it opens the cherry season in late May. Trees are self-fertile and need pollination. It is advisable to plant black Dyber or Ramon Olive near the sweet cherry.
For 5-6 years after moving to the ground, Aprelka gives the first fruits. On medium-sized trees, small - 3-3.5 g - berries appear. They are rounded, somewhat crushed, with dark skin. The variety is recognized as a canteen. Fruits are consumed fresh, they are not suitable for processing. Aprelka productivity: about 20 kg from a tree during the first years of fruiting (for 5-7 years), and more than 50 kg at a late age. Sweet cherry is characterized by average winter hardiness, during the years of the development of diseases it is affected by moniliosis, coccomycosis and kleasterosporiosis.
Italian
Recommended for testing in the Central Black Earth region, this variety is also successfully grown in the south. Not picky about the soil, not quick. The Italian woman bears fruit for the first time at 4-5 years. The tree is neat in shape, up to 4 meters in height. Needs pollination.
