Cherry Baby: a description of the variety, characteristics, cultivation

Among a huge number of fruit and berry crops, perhaps, it is cherry that is very popular among Russian gardeners. Someone grows old, time-tested varieties, and some people experiment and plant selective novelties on their site.

In recent years, many have become interested in cherry-cherry hybrids. This is due to the compactness of the tree, which greatly facilitates the care of it, high yield, pleasant palatability of the fruit.

What is a cherry duck?

We will try to tell you more about these fruit trees, which are increasingly preferred by gardeners (especially the middle band). Dukas are called cherry and cherry hybrids. According to the characteristic features of the tree, the shape and size of the leaves, and also the cherry-cherry fruit is in the gap between the two parental species. However, it is closer to cherry.

Cherry dyke has larger leaves than usual cherry, in size they are close to cherry. However, they are more dense and have a characteristic shine for cherry. Fruits are significantly larger than those of traditional varieties. The best hybrids give fruits weighing up to ten grams, and the largest of them often reach fifteen. This is about three times the weight of classic varieties (Shubinka, Vladimirskaya).

The taste and consistency of the fruit is more like cherry. The same can be said about the fragrance. The first domestic cherry-cherry was deduced by IV Michurin (1888). For this, the great breeder crossed the Central Russian variety of Bel cherry with Winkler cherry . The variety was named the Beauty of the North. It was successfully grown not only in Michurinsk, but also in the Moscow region, in St. Petersburg, in the Middle Volga region and even in Western Siberia. Today there are new varieties, which have already been evaluated by gardeners.

Duke Miracle cherry

This hybrid was obtained during the crossing of sweet cherry Valery Chkalov with cherry Griot Ostgeymsky. Among today's Dyuks, this variety is closest to cherries (based on the characteristics of wood and leaves). The shoots of the one-year-old are powerful, thick as cherry, large leaves, but dense as cherry.

This hybrid fructifies on bouquet branches (like cherry), which cover a two-year increment. The yield is high, the fruits hang dense garlands

Fesanna

Hybrid with fruits weighing eight to nine grams. According to gardeners, it has excellent taste qualities, in comparison with other ducks. At the same time, this variety is much inferior in winter hardiness of flowering buds, thus approaching cherry on this basis. Therefore, it is recommended to grow it in the southern regions of our country.

Bush-cherries

Various varieties of cluster cherries have become widespread among gardeners. They are great for growing in conditions of severe and snowy winters. At present, several such varieties are known.

Zhukovsky

This species has the ability to self-pollinate. It is possible to increase the yield when planting a bush next to another variety. The fruit ripens at the end of July. The fruits are large, dark, with excellent taste. Even under the most unfavorable conditions, it maintains yields of up to ten kilograms. The variety is resistant to diseases and frosts.

Gnome

The maximum height of the tree is 1.5 m. The fruits have a pronounced sweetish-sour taste. The main difference from similar varieties is the later flowering and, as a result, the later ripening of the fruit.

Unsteady

A plant actively harvesting by the fifth year after disembarkation. It is characterized by a very high and early yield and a long shelf life of the fruit. It is not recommended to plant alone, as this variety is self-fertilizing and does not yield crops without pollination at all. It has excellent winter hardiness.

Menzelinskaya

Cherry-cherry with an excellent shape of the crown. It resembles a weeping willow. The bush is quite large, famous for its high yields. Like the previous one, one does not pollinate independently. Resistant to colds and pests, but, in addition, it feels great in arid regions.

Cherry Baby: Variety Description

Finally, we approached one of the best species of bush varieties. This hybrid was bred at a breeding station (fruit and berry) in Saratov. That is why the variety is often called cherry Saratov baby.

For his breeding, Cherry Early and Dyuk 1-2-29 were crossed. Cherry has a small height, so in the suburban area it takes up very little space. For owners of small land allotments it is very important.

Cherry Baby, whose variety description can be found in all editions on gardening, differs from the most cluster cherries very early maturing. Harvest can be collected already in the middle of June. This variety is also famous for its yield. One bush gives up to twenty-five kilograms of fruit, which, according to gardeners, is a good indicator. The weight of one cherry is six grams.

To gardeners from Moscow region, cherry Malyshka is perfect. The description of the variety by authoritative specialists allows us to state that it tolerates fairly low temperatures, has a good self-fertilization and is resistant to coccomicosis, a dangerous fungal disease. This is confirmed by the numerous reviews of gardeners.

The indisputable merits of the variety include:

• Easy harvesting;
• Simplicity of care;
• Small size of roots that do not reach groundwater.

Landing

Cherry variety The baby is best growing and developing on a small hill. In this case, the seedlings are protected from the flow of cold air. Since it is a winter hardy variety, it is successfully grown in the northern regions.

Before planting the plant, carefully examine its roots. It is important that they are free from defects or pests. If you find them, then the seedling must be soaked in water with the addition of a small amount of manganese (until light pink) for seven hours.

Cherry-cherry The baby is a light-loving plant. This must be taken into account when boarding. You can not let neighboring trees obscure it. For the baby, loamy or sandy loamy soil is suitable.

Care

So, in your garden there was a cherry Baby. Description of the variety, which is given in various publications on gardening, suggests that the care of this small tree is no different from caring for other fruit crops. It is important to ensure that under the bushes of cherries there is always loose soil.

Do not allow the germination of weeds. For this, three loosening will be enough in the summer. Despite the fact that this cherry quite easily suffers a lack of moisture, it needs moderate watering. The first time it is carried out immediately after the bush is blossomed, and the second - when the size of ripening berries will begin to increase.
