Sweet cherry Home garden yellow

Sweet cherry Household yellow is a fairly young subspecies, but he has already managed to win the love and respect of numerous gardeners. It is considered an early variety, quite fruitful and early ripening. And if this plant has some disadvantages, then they are in fact the same continuation of its advantages.

Breeding history

Scientists all over the world are engaged in the selection of such fruit crops quite widely and actively. Our domestic breeders and geneticists were singled out in this regard among many specialists. The Cherry variety Priusadebnaya yellow, which we will consider in this article, was bred in our country, thanks to the crossing of such varieties as Zolotaya Loshitskaya and Leningradskaya krasnaya, followed by neural irradiation. As a result, this subspecies, together with other fruit drupes, took quite confidently its place of honor in the gardens of the Central Chernozem region. Recently, the climate in our country has softened somewhat. In the reviews, one can find a remark about a successful trial of the cultivation of this culture in the more northern regions of Russia. Although in these territories, this plant is given a stale shape, every year, at a gradual pace, this seedling is tilted closer to the soil, plus to this giving the crown of the plant the required shape by cutting. Quite time consuming but very interesting experience.

• Dimensions of the tree

Cherry variety Priusadebnaya yellow has a fairly fast growth rate. Despite the fact that the growth will not be timely controlled by the farmer, by the fruiting period of the crop, its growth can be up to five meters. This can usually create a large number of problems during harvest and bird protection. Despite the fact that, judging by some reviews, this variety does not particularly attract birds. And this could be a great advantage of this variety. This tree has a rather massive trunk and shoots are arranged in tiers, due to which the crown looks quite sprawling, has a spherical and very leafy shape, and also reaches a radius of 4 meters. But, despite this, this crown cannot be called strongly thickened, which is why the forming procedure for pruning and harvesting will not cause a lot of effort.

• Pollinators of sweet cherry Home garden yellow, flowering period and yield

The big distinguishing advantage of this subspecies is its self-pollination. Although it has been tested and proven that, adjacent to other pollinators, the yield of this tree was significantly higher. But, this variety already has a very high yield. Also, this plant itself is an excellent pollinator, and also a valuable honey plant. The flowering period of the sweet cherry variety of the backyard yellow occurs early, already in the first half of May. The inflorescences of this variety, collected from 4-5 flowers of a snow-white shade, are quite hardy to May frosts. Fruiting in this subspecies begins at the age of six. And after that, this culture every year begins to bring a high and high-quality harvest of tasty, healthy fruits. Experienced gardeners are advised to immediately remove about half of the ovaries. In this case, the rest will give out the greatest fruits. But in previous years, it is recommended to completely cut off the entire color, so that the rhizome of the plant grows in the best possible way.Fruits, under good climatic conditions, can reach a diameter of two centimeters, and each berry weighs up to 6 grams. These berries have a round shape, and their inner part and skin are endowed with a yellow tint. Also, these fruits have an excellent sweet taste with a little acidity and are very juicy. The tasting score of these fruits on a five-point scale is 4.7 points. The stone in the fruit is slightly enlarged, but it separates quite well from the inside. The peduncle is elongated and dry. This plant does not have the characteristic of fruit cracking in the rain. Maturation occurs simultaneously, in the month of June. If you correctly control the growth of a tree and the diameter of its crown, then the annual yield will be at least 25 kilograms per plant, on average.

• Application and portability

In some cases, the annual bountiful harvest is attributed to the disadvantages of the variety, since the juicy and large berries do not tolerate moving, and are considered non-transportable fruits. Therefore, this subspecies cannot be cultivated on a commercial scale. That's its name, in part, because of this fact. The variety of cherries Priusadnaya yellow is considered a table one. Most of these fruits are consumed fresh, not processed. When stored in the refrigerator, they can retain their original freshness for a long time. These fruits are actively used in the manufacture of juices, preserves, jams and compotes of various kinds, because the plus of these berries also lies in the fact that they remain quite dense and do not boil over. Not often, but this berry is also frozen so that you can have time to use it completely. It has long been a proven fact that these fruits are a source of numerous trace elements necessary for a person, but in addition to this, they can also support blood vessels, counteract anemia. And also, like all yellow varieties of this culture, this cherry does not cause allergic reactions.

The sweet cherry variety has an average level of tolerance to the dry season. The plant can grow well and produce crops in Central Asia. It is only required to control the moisture content of the soil and be sure to irrigate at the time required for the harvest. After all, water is a prerequisite for the ripening of such a large amount of harvest of rather juicy and large fruits.

As already noted, the variety of cherries Priusadebnaya yellow perfectly survives the May frosts. The wood of this plant can easily withstand cold temperatures of -30 degrees. But in order to avoid sunburn and frostbite during late autumn, when the air temperature is about +5 degrees just not less, the tree trunk and skeletal stems are whitewashed. In early spring, this whitewashing is done again. Despite the fact that this variety was zoned in the Central Black Earth Region, this plant, due to its hardiness to frost, begins to master the North-Western regions of our country, and thanks to some farmers, with certain cultivation methods, it spreads to the most northern regions.

• Dates and rules for disembarkation

On the question of what time it will be better to plant the variety of cherries Priusadebnaya yellow, the opinions of the farmers differ. Some argue that the autumn period would be the best option, while others tend to the spring period of the year. Although, in fact, there are risks in both cases. It can be a rather cold winter period, with little snow, or a very small amount of time from frost to blooming of the buds of the plant, in order to have time to buy a young plant and plant it. And this variety has an early flowering period.That is why experienced gardeners choose a seedling of this variety in the autumn period of the year, and they are engaged in planting in the spring. In order for the plant to survive during the winter period, it is buried in a high, flat area, with a predominance of loose soil, and in a semi-horizontal position. In winter, the seedling should be well covered with a snow cover, and in the absence of it, despite the fact that the cold is getting stronger, cover it with peat, straw, or rags, even an old blanket will do. During the winter period, you will have time to think about the place of planting this seedling, so that later there will be no tree transplants, it has a very negative attitude towards them. It is worth noting, by the way, that it is absolutely impossible to transplant a given plant with already blossoming leaves. With the arrival of spring, as soon as the soil thaws and warms up, they plant this seedling with bare roots. Those copies that are purchased in a container can be planted at any time, from April to October. The planting of a variety of cherries in the Homestead yellow is often done according to a three-meter by three-meter scheme. It was also noticed that it would be nice to place this plant almost close to any structure. Then she will not be afraid of northern and strong winds, and it will also facilitate her wintering.

• The choice of planting material

The best option for purchasing this seedling will be well-known and proven nurseries, which can guarantee that this is the particular variety, as well as its quality. If it is impossible to contact such a nursery, be very vigilant and attentive, as it happens that you are sold a low-quality product, and in rare cases, a completely different plant. Therefore, it is worthwhile to approach the choice of this seedling with all responsibility. Remember important factors when choosing: the plant must have a passport; the seedling is one or two years old; this plant must have at least three roots, about 20 centimeters long; the seedling must be grafted; there should be no blossoming foliage; the roots should be free of signs of freezing; the plant should be free from traces of mold, damage and decay. If the roots of the plant are dry, then they should be immersed in water for literally a few hours before planting, although the best option would be when they are all alive at once.

• Hole preparation and landing rules

The landing site is chosen very carefully and in advance. This place should be protected from strong and northerly winds, and the groundwater should be no less deep than one and a half to two meters from the soil surface. If the groundwater is closer to the surface, then drainage is required to maintain the required moisture level. When planting this plant in the autumn, the planting hole is prepared one to two months before this procedure. For spring planting, the hole should be dug in October. We make a suitable soil in advance; for this, baked sand should be poured into the clay soil, and clay and peat should be added to the sandy soil. For this subspecies, the acidity level is required to be 6.5-7.

Most often, the Home Garden yellow cherry variety is planted in the same way as other varieties of this culture:

• A landing hole is dug, which has a circumference of about 90 centimeters and a depth of 50-60 centimeters.
• A mixture of humus with a small amount of garden soil is poured into this hole.
• One kilogram of ash and approximately half a kilogram of superphosphate are poured there. All this is mixed and a small mound is made.
• A small peg is driven into this mound, which will further serve as a support for this asthenia.
• Before planting, the roots of the seedling should be soaked for about 10 hours.
• After these roots are dipped in a solution of a mullein in the amount of five liters, with 2.5 liters of clay.
• The seedling is placed near the peg in the planting hole, while maintaining the position of the root collar of the plant at a distance of 6 centimeters from the soil surface. The roots of the plant are carefully spread over this mound and sprinkled with garden soil.
• The landing is tamped and tied to a peg.
• After that, the planted young plant is abundantly watered and mulched with humus.

• Watering and feeding

In the spring period of the year for the Home Garden yellow cherry, nitrogen-containing fertilizing is required. Before the beginning of the fruiting period, the tree is watered with diluted manure or urea solution. Then they switch to fertilizing with phosphorus and potassium supplements. In the period from October to November, you should dig up the soil and add 10 kilograms of humus, 60 gamma potassium salt, 100 grams of superphosphate there. Throughout the season, it will be good to feed the plant with a six-day infusion of weeded nettle. For good development and fruiting of this culture, it is required to maintain an optimal irrigation regime. This tree should be watered abundantly in three stages: during the budding period, at the time of fruit setting, in the autumn period after harvest and before wintering, approximately in the last days of October. In the first two stages, at least three buckets for one plant are used during watering. In normal summer weather, this plant is well watered every month, and during the dry season, watering is done every week. In early spring, watering for this culture is performed immediately before the beginning of the flowering period, otherwise the ovary may crumble.

• Weeding and loosening

Sweet cherry Home garden yellow, like other varieties of sweet cherry, is categorically bad about waterlogging of the soil. In order for the root system to breathe and absorb fertilizers well, after watering and rain, the near-trunk circle should be weeded and loosened with a rake and pitchfork, and then mulched with mowed grass.

• Pruning

To maintain a low plant height and to ration the yield, it is required at first to carry out a formative pruning of the crown of the tree. It happens this way:

• After planting a seedling of this crop, to stimulate the lateral stems, the central trunk needs to be cut by about 60 centimeters.
• Each year, the increase is cut off by one aunts.
• Cut out the stems, which are directed towards the inside of the crown, and leave strong rare, which grow at an angle of 45 degrees to the trunk of the tree.
• Until the moment the plant reaches five years of life, a tier-type crown is formed every year, creating three to four levels, and also limiting the height of the plant.
• Broken or dry branches are removed.

The pruning procedure is carried out in the spring before the start of intensive sap flow, and after this period in the fall. Places of cuts should be treated with garden varnish, and removed stems are disposed of by burning.

• Preventive measures

Even despite the presence of a high level of immunity in this variety to diseases and infections, some farmers still spray the plant in the spring, before foliage forms, with a 7% urea solution, or a 1% solution of copper sulfate, as a safety net. Some gardeners prefer to use folk remedies for processing, so as not to use chemistry. For this, an infusion of onion or garlic husks, an infusion of wood ash, dandelions or tobacco dust is suitable. The coma of all this in the spring period of the year is cut and disposed of by burning the stems, beaten by frost, and in the last days of October, fallen leaves are removed and burned.

• Preparation for wintering

If we take into account the fact that the Home Garden yellow cherry variety has good frost resistance, then for this plant it is only necessary to create the most favorable conditions, giving it protection from other troubles. For this you need:

• It is good enough to dig up the soil around the tree trunk.
• To protect the trunk from small rodents, tie it with rags, burlap, spruce branches, or simply wrap it with roofing material.
• In the first autumn month, it is required to water the tree with a superphosphate solution, or process the leaves in order to strengthen the plant and help it during the cold season.
• It is worth whitening the culture with lime and clay so that there is no sunburn, and whitewash young seedlings with clay and chalk, because lime can damage the young bark.

Diseases and pests

Due to its early flowering and fruiting period, this variety has time to mature before the appearance of the main pests. Even a cherry fly cannot threaten her. Also, Home Garden yellow cherry has a high level of immunity to the most common diseases and infections. Although during the cold and rains, and even if the thinning of the crown was not observed, this plant can still be severely damaged. That is why, in cloudy, but dry weather, this culture is sprayed for prophylaxis with Bordeaux liquid, or with a solution of copper sulfate. Approximately three weeks before harvest, drug treatment is completely stopped. It is also worth noting one danger for this plant - birds. If they attacked your culture, then you should cover the cherries with a special net.
