Cherry Memory Vavilov
Content:
Today, gardeners know a very large number of a wide variety of cherry varieties, which, in principle, really have their own characteristics and characteristics. Breeders are constantly working to create unique and truly special varieties that can satisfy the tastes of even the most discerning gardener. Among cherries there are varieties that can really please both with the level of fruiting and characteristic taste characteristics. One of these varieties is Pamyat Vavilov cherry.
Basically, this variety of cherry Pamyat Vavilova is interesting to gardeners who operate in central Russia, since it is completely unpretentious, it can easily endure some climatic troubles, while remaining not only a very useful variety, but also very attractive from the point of view of its own external characteristics.
Cherry Pamyat Vavilov: description and characteristics of the variety
Further, I would like to dwell in more detail on the intricacies of the appearance of the cherry variety Pamyat Vavilova, and also give a basic description of this tree, its external features, fruits. In the second part of the article, we will get acquainted with the requirements and nuances that apply to planting and subsequent care of plants.
This article will be of interest not only to beginners in gardening, but also to those who already have some experience, but they would like to expand their knowledge about cherry varieties, to recreate such characteristic plantings that would stand out for their characteristics among many others.
Cherry Pamyat Vavilov was obtained after specialists from the laboratory named after V.I. I.V. Michurin in the Tambov region. The variety is dedicated to one of the outstanding and truly renowned breeders - Nikolai Vavilov, who made an incredibly great contribution to the development of breeding and genetics.
Cherry variety Pamyat Vavilov was repeatedly tested; it was planted under different conditions in order to check whether it could withstand all the prepared tests. As a result, the variety was included in the state register in 1985, while it was included in the recommended varieties for cultivation on the territory of the Lower Volga and Central Black Earth Districts.
But it is worth noting that the popularity of the Pamyat Vavilov cherry variety quickly spread far beyond the specified area - very soon, gardeners and breeders from the former USSR countries began to show interest in cherries, after which it spread far beyond the borders of one state.
But this, of course, is only a plus for the variety, since he became one of the main characters in personal plots or in industrial cultivation, and he became one of the outstanding varieties that was obtained precisely by domestic breeders, which became an incredible reason for pride.
Cherry Pamyat Vavilova, in principle, has some standard characteristics and indicators in its external features, but there are also such nuances that can distinguish this variety from some other varieties that are also popular today.
Cherry Memory Vavilov - general characteristics of the plant
It is a tall tree that has a brownish green bark that is quite attractive and fresh in color. Crown a wide, spreading one is formed, but at the same time the gardener can shape it in accordance with his needs and desires, since the planting responds perfectly to the formation, does not show any negative reactions.
The cherry crown of the Pamyat Vavilova variety is leafy, but some gardeners estimate it at an average level, although when all the leaves are blooming, the planting really looks incredibly interesting and attractive.
The shoots are greenish-brown, not very thick, but quite strong and strong - another plus. Shoots can be curved, they can even branch, they look quite interesting. But it should be carefully controlled so that such bends do not lead to the crown thickening too much. Otherwise, the tree will look completely sloppy and, as a result, the external characteristics will become less attractive.
Wood near a cherry tree Vavilov's memory is very resistant to freezing and sudden changes in temperature. Immunity to coccomycosis and moniliosis is estimated at an average level and, with all this, it is worth taking extra care of the trees in order to get the most favorable outcome.
Among advantages varieties - not a very large tree, which is convenient to care for; marketable fruits that have not only a beautiful, but also a very attractive appearance; taste characteristics that are rated at a fairly high level; transportability of fruits (cherries perfectly tolerate long-distance transportation, which in no way affect their external characteristics and taste when consumed).
It is also worth saying that the Pamyat Vavilov cherry has an average ripening level, much in this case will depend rather on the area in which the tree grows, what climatic conditions have developed.
Harvest plentiful, versatile, fruit is also suitable for processing, to taste they can be combined with other berries and fruits, creating incredible flavor ensembles. Domestic varieties are generally considered one of the most successful and really interesting both from the point of view of yield and from the point of view of further use of the fruits.
What is Vavilov's memory cherry, its external characteristics and features

Fruit it turns out to be medium, have a rounded shape, very juicy and sweet, but we will deal with their description a little later. Let's just say that the fruits have a universal purpose, which means that in general they can be used and eaten fresh, or you can cook a large number of preparations and dishes from them.
Taste fruit can also be safely stored if each fruit is frozen for later use. But this largely depends on how the gardener himself deems it necessary to handle the harvested crop. Tasters assess the taste characteristics of the fruit at a solid four points out of five, saying that the acid leaves the berries only upon reaching consumer maturity, that is, almost complete ripening of the fruit.
But overall, this variety is quite convenient and preferable, so it really deserves attention. Considering that the fruits can ripen for a very long time, and their taste does not always reach perfection, it is possible, in principle, to use cherries for technical processing, for the preparation of compotes and juices, wine, combining berries with other fruits and fruits.
The rather attractive appearance of the landings should also be of interest. The crown can be round in shape, or it can be pyramidal. It all depends on how old the planting is, and also on whether the gardener himself will form it in accordance with his capabilities, skills and abilities.It is also worth saying that formative pruning has a wonderful effect on the plant, it recovers very quickly and looks quite decorative at the same time.
Stam covered with dark gray bark. At first, while the tree is still young, the stem is a little rough, but with age, cracks can be seen on the bark, which at the same time do not at all indicate that planting a disease is a natural manifestation. The stem can generally be a little florid, like the branches, shoots that branch off from the cherry planting.
On young cherry trees in Memory of Vavilov, cracks can form on the trunk. Thanks to it, you can notice the formation of new shiny pieces of the cover, which are painted in silver or brownish shades. The gray bark that has aged can be carefully removed, but must not be damaged.
The stem is florid, sometimes some shoots can grow right deep into the crown, so the gardener should be very careful about caring activities, cut off plants, shoots, shorten them so that some disease-causing manifestations, bacteria and microorganisms do not begin to develop due to the thickening of the crown.
In general, the shoots that the tree gives are straight, can be elongated, with pronounced internodes. Initially, they turn greenish or brown, but later, over time, the color changes to reddish.
A large number of pronounced glands appear on the shoots, which also indicate the active development of planting, and that the gardener should carefully look after them. The glands give the planting additional nutrition, they must be strong and strong, so that the tree, if something happens, can safely fight bacteria and pests, infectious and fungal diseases. But we will talk about such a struggle a little later.
Vegetative buds reach six millimeters in size, have an elongated shape, more like an egg. The tip of the buds is pointed, the vitality of the entire planting will depend on their healthy appearance, vitality and quantity.
The planting also has the so-called generative buds. They are slightly smaller in size than the main ones - about four millimeters, and generally have the same shape and color.
Leaves cherries are round, quite standard in shape and size, as the leaves of other varieties and varieties of cherry plantings. The top of the leaves is slightly pointed, the consistency is leathery, dense, the leaves generally look quite attractive and decorative, especially when they all bloom at once in the spring.
Gardeners note the attractiveness and beauty of the plant, indicate that they really look very cool and interesting. The length of the leaves can be up to ten centimeters, and the width ranges from four to six centimeters. These are the dimensional indicators of larger and older plantings, of course, when the seedling is still very young, its size is not so abundant and large.
The outer side of the leaves is smooth and shiny, colored in a rich and deep green hue. There is a slight concavity, which is mainly located in the central vein. But the inner side of the leaves is not so bright - it is rather pale, has a pinkish center at the vein. On the sides, you can feel the pubescence of the leaves, hairiness is a feature of the planting of the cherry variety, and in general, the appearance of the leaves does not change in any global way from this.
Leaf petioles - their size is up to twenty millimeters. Their color is dusty, dirty pink, the thickness is medium, but at the same time the leaves are firmly held on the petioles, they do not crumble (unless the planting gets sick or is in an unsatisfactory condition due to the fact that it lacks nutrition and care from the gardener).There are no stipules in the variety, the glands may be in small quantities, or not at all, it all depends rather on the climatic and natural conditions in which this cherry variety grows.
Flowers Cherries Pamyat Vavilov can be located one by one, or they can form in inflorescences of two or three beautiful flowers. The flowers are quite large and abundant on their own, they can reach 4.5 centimeters in diameter. They stand out against the background of many other varieties and plantings, especially during flowering. At first they are painted in a white shade, but then it gradually changes to a delicate, pink, incredibly attractive.
It is worth noting that, in principle, gardeners value cherries very much precisely due to the fact that they not only give a bountiful harvest, but can also look incredibly decorative and attractive precisely because of an excellent looking tree, especially during flowering.
The petals can be corrugated, with uneven edges, or they can be spoon-shaped. The pistil is located or next to, on the same level with the stamen, or it can be slightly lowered. The stamens reach a centimeter in length, but the length of the pistil is about one and a half centimeters. They stand out perfectly against the background of the flower, they also look a little contrasting and, at the same time, quite festive.
The most important thing is that they take an active part in the pollination of the tree and, accordingly, can be quite bright representatives of a self-fertile culture, but this should be discussed a little later. Next, we will tell you a little about what cherry fruits are, what their size and shape are, as well as the level of versatility in purpose and use.
The fruits on the tree are large enough - what corresponds to the cherry variety. They have a flat-round shape, the skin is painted in a deep maroon shade. On average, the mass of one cherry berry can be about six grams, the pulp is homogeneous in its own structure, average if you evaluate the density, but many say that the fruits are quite hard and dense.
The pulp also turns dark red, the juice turns out to be rich in color, and just as tasty in terms of taste. The stalk is shortened, but rather thick, strong, it can be easily plucked when the fruits reach their consumer maturity, but in other situations, in principle, the fruits do not crumble, and this is a huge plus.
The stone is of medium size, it is separated from the pulp by half, but in general, gardeners do not encounter special difficulties in processing the crop, and this is a huge plus.
The berries have a pleasant sweet and sour taste, not sugary. The versatility means that cherries can be eaten immediately after they have been harvested from the site, or, in principle, they can be consumed when they are processed. In addition, you can make preserves and jams, drinks - juices, wine, compotes.
The taste of cherries goes well with the taste of other fruits and fruits, which is also a noticeable plus. Gardeners appreciate the variety very much due to the fact that it is completely unpretentious and not capricious. We will talk about agricultural technology and planting, about leaving later in this article.
Growing features
Cherry variety Pamyat Vavilov: photo
The cherry variety Pamyat Vavilova has several bright and key characteristics that you should definitely pay attention to just in order to be able to decide for yourself whether the gardener wants to see this planting on his own plot, or he would like to take other varieties and seedlings that will be beneficial to him.
Cherry Pamyat Vavilova is characterized as a mid-season variety, the fruits ripen in July, but if you plant a tree in the southern region, then there is a high probability that the fruits will reach their consumer maturity at the end of June, which means that gardeners will get ripe and tasty berries much earlier.
Many indicators also depend directly on how the planting was grafted. If it was a grafting on an antipoke, then the fruiting of cherries begins in the fourth or fifth year after the seedling is planted in open ground. Also, this vaccine will be characterized by its early maturity at a very high level.Of course, here the choice of vaccination and when exactly he would like to get his own harvest will depend on the gardeners themselves.
Cherry Vavilov's memory also gives abundant and very regular harvest, it is very high quality and tasty enough. Almost sixteen kilograms of harvest can be harvested from one tree in adulthood, and gardeners note that sometimes this is not the highest indicator, that the yield can be even higher.
But here it all depends on the conditions under which the cherry variety grows, whether the gardener himself was able to give the planting everything that she needed so much, and how far the agricultural technology was followed in accordance with all the rules and regulations. It is important to know the very subtle aspects and nuances of plant care, and if you take these points into account, it will be possible to get a harvest even where the initially climatic conditions are not too favorable.
Next, we will just dwell in more detail on the description of the plant and on how to take care of the plantings in the future.
The fruits of the Pamyat Vavilov cherries are distinguished by a high level of quality, since each cherry is very elastic, bright, sweet, without any unpleasant or tart flavors. Gardeners also value the variety very highly due to the fact that, in general, these plantings are of high quality and versatile.
The fruits are excellent fresh, they are great in taste with other berries or fruits. They can be used to prepare food and drinks, juices and wines, compotes, sauces, preserves and jams. It is also worth saying that the fruits contain a large amount of useful substances - acids, vitamins, trace elements, peptides.
All of them have a beneficial effect on the general condition of the human body, can help fight diseases, increasing immunity and stress resistance.
Cherry Pamyat Vavilov can be grown in private household plots, and can be cultivated on a large industrial scale. With all this, the fruits are perfectly stored for a long time, they can be transported over long distances.
Advantages and disadvantages that cherry variety Pamyat Vavilova has
I would like to highlight several advantages and disadvantages of the variety, since they can have a serious impact on the opinion of the gardener himself, as well as on his choice directly in favor of this variety.
Among merits Cherry varieties Pamyat Vavivlova can be distinguished as follows:
- frost resistance of cherry planting - a seedling and an adult tree can safely tolerate a drop in temperature to -25 degrees, and show absolutely no negative reactions to such changes in the climate;
- berries have a universal purpose - they can be used immediately after being removed fresh, or you can prepare dishes, desserts, preserves and jams from them, compotes, drinks, juices, wines;
- the variety is resistant to the most common diseases and is practically not attacked by pests, insects and rodents;
- the variety can be propagated in different ways - rootstocks, seeds, vegetative methods. The result will be equally positive, so you should think about this when choosing certain landings;
- cherry Pamyat Vavilova has high commercial qualities and excellent characteristics. Cherries are great for selling, they look great and taste very high;
- the yield is high, even if the gardener cannot give the variety enough attention and support, there is still a high probability of getting a regular and excellent harvest with high taste and storage characteristics (keeping quality, transportation).
In general, the Pamyat Vavilova cherry variety has more positive characteristics than any disadvantages, and this is a huge plus. But if we talk about some disadvantages, sometimes in the areas of cherry planting Pamyat Vavilov may show signs of self-infertility. In this regard, it is worth planting several varieties nearby that will have identical flowering periods.
Then pollination will be carried out and, as a result, plantings will demonstrate excellent fruiting qualities. But this can complicate agricultural technology, and it can take a gardener a lot of time to care for not one, but several plantings at once. But the result will not disappoint the gardener, so it is worth paying special attention to this aspect.
If all the conditions are met, then already in the third or fourth year after planting the seedling in open ground, the tree will give its first fruits. Every year, the cherry tree Pamyat Vavilov can bloom in early or mid-early periods, but they can be transferred - it all depends on the climatic conditions in which this variety grows.
If these are the southern regions, then fruiting will begin earlier than the specified date, but if these are areas located closer to the North, then you should be prepared for the fact that fruiting will begin much later than the gardener expects.
Planting, care: key requirements and nuances
Cherry Memory Vavilov: photo of the variety
In any case, the gardener is always required to follow all the rules that are just related to planting a plant and its subsequent care. Cherry Pamyat Vavilova bears excellent and very tasty fruits, but you should not ignore her demands.
If the gardener is attentive to all the subtleties, if he is well acquainted with the varietal characteristics and traits, then it will be much easier for him to focus on agricultural technology, and it will also be much easier to fulfill all the established requirements and standards for planting care.
Cherry variety Pamyat Vavilova has average frost resistance, while in central Russia, bark, buds, wood - all this quite calmly survives frosts, therefore weather conditions do not have the most negative effect on plantings.
Cherry planting Pamyat Vavilov
Before the seedling is sent to the open ground, it is recommended to prepare a place for planting in advance. It should be well lit, located on a hill, and at the same time protected from sudden gusts of wind and drafts (these factors can be especially negative if the seedling is still very young and has not yet had time to finally adapt to external conditions.
Before planting, cherry seedlings Pamyat Vavilov are carefully examined for damage or disease. If suddenly the root system or its parts were affected, then they must be carefully removed. The cut sites must be treated with activated carbon so that bacteria no longer penetrate there.
Next, the seedling is sent into the open ground, it is planted in a hole, a peg is installed next to it. The peg is necessary in order to support the planting, and also so that the seedling does not break or be damaged by gusts of wind. The root collar should protrude about three to four centimeters above the ground surface.
The complete landing algorithm is as follows:
- the gardener selects healthy and full-fledged seedlings, examines them from all sides. Before planting, the seedlings are placed in a growth stimulator - Kornevin for several hours;
- the seedling is placed in a pre-prepared hole, which is filled with fertile soil. A peg is driven into the center, which will become the future support for planting. Around the peg, the mixture is poured in the form of a mound, the seedling itself is installed on the mound. Experienced gardeners recommend planting not alone, but together - one person will support the seedling from above, and the second will gently spread the roots;
- soil is poured onto the roots, this should be done carefully, constantly shaking the seedling.This must be done so that air pockets do not form around the roots, which will lead to the formation of cavities and the development of pathogenic bacteria;
- the seedling is tied to a peg, do it carefully. This can be done from the north side of the peg strictly vertically - the seedling should not deviate anywhere, otherwise this will lead to the fact that the tree will grow unevenly and unevenly.
Then the gardener monitors how the cherry sapling of the Pamyat Vavilov variety takes root, how it adapts and takes root in new conditions. It is extremely important to maintain the vital activity of the planting, to mulch the near-trunk circle. Mulch serves several functions - it protects the planting from attack from bacteria, and also prevents moisture from evaporating from the soil too quickly. In addition, thanks to the mulch, the required amount of heat is retained in the soil, which is also very important for the general condition of the planting.
After the planting of the seedling has been completed, an earthen roller should be made around the entire circumference. It should be located about 25 centimeters from the main trunk, and thanks to this, the roller will indicate the space for full watering of the plant. It is recommended to water the seedlings with settled water at room temperature. In general, the root system of a plant is considered very delicate and vulnerable, and therefore it is still recommended to be very careful about both the watering process and the feeding.
They are part of agricultural activities, just like pruning, fertilizing, harvesting, planting rejuvenation. Cherries of the Pamyat Vavilov variety do not tolerate transplants, so initially the gardener should make sure that the planting site is as comfortable and well-lit as possible.
To water one cherry seedling, the gardener will need about two or three buckets of water, but the temperature indicators and regimes must be taken into account, because otherwise the planting will feel less comfortable, and in general, the growth and development of this cherry seedling may noticeably slow down. Because of this, the periods of fruiting will shift.
Agrotechnics
Cherry Memory of Vavilov: photo
When the tree matures, the agricultural technique can be slightly changed. For example, it is worth increasing the number watering - at least three times per season. You should also focus on climatic and weather conditions, on the amount of precipitation and the duration of dry periods. Only taking into account all the external features, as well as taking into account the state of planting, it will be possible to create the most favorable irrigation schedule that will meet all planting requirements.
The first watering should be scheduled at the time when flowering ends. The second time the cherries are watered after the fruits have gradually filled in, and when they begin to ripen gradually. At this time, they really need watering so that they can become juicy and large - what corresponds to varietal indicators and characteristics. The third watering should be carried out at the very beginning of October, after the leaves have fallen off, and the planting will need to be prepared for the winter period.
It should be remembered loosening soil after irrigation during the entire growing season. Also, the trunk circle should be not only loose (to allow oxygen and moisture to pass through), but also cleaned of weeds and other excess vegetation. This may not have the best effect on the state of the plantings, on their characteristics and properties, and therefore it is still worthwhile to pay as much attention as possible to some issues and points that are related to the hygiene and aesthetics of the sites.
I would like to say that there are step-by-step instructions for planting a cherry tree. If the gardener adheres to it, then he will have an increased chance of creating a very rich, vigorous and productive plant.The most important thing is also that, in general, even a gardener who does not have any specific and very rich experience in planting a plant can cope with this algorithm. Only by observing the conditions, the gardener will be able to achieve the maximum that the planting will be capable of.
But there are some points that you should definitely follow. These aspects include the following:
- the recommended time frame for planting a cherry tree;
- a suitable place in which the planting will feel comfortable and develop in accordance with the requirements of the variety;
- neighborhood with cherry planting;
- selection of healthy and viable planting material, preparation for planting in open ground;
- landing algorithm and subtleties;
- subsequent care of the plant so that the planting will live and bear fruit as long as possible, despite the external conditions and characteristics.
Let's talk a little about dressing. In the first couple of years, planting will not need any fertilizers and top dressing at all, for the reason that they will be saturated with all the necessary substances and components from the saturated and ennobled soil. But after two or three years, it is still necessary to start making additional fertilizing and substances so that the planting can feel much more comfortable.
Usually fertilizers are applied in the autumn, before the gardener prescribes a deep digging of the personal plot. So, for one cherry tree, we need to apply potash fertilizers, phosphorus fertilizers (all these dressings are applied mainly in dry form). In the early spring period, it is necessary to make the soil saturated with nitrogen-containing components.
This will require about fifty grams of dressings, which will be ideal for saturating the planting and creating the most favorable conditions for it. You should not be zealous with feeding, as you can overfeed the planting quite strongly and harm it. And in general, experienced gardeners say that it is better not to feed the planting than to create conditions of satiety for it, in which the cherry will experience discomfort.
When the Pamyat Vavilov cherry reaches the age of two years, then the formation of the crown should begin. For this, the twigs are pruned. They carefully examine the planting, shorten the growths so that the plant looks not only neat, but also healthy. If the cherry Pamyat Vavilov becomes very old, then gardeners are advised to carry out anti-aging pruning. Thanks to her, the tree can be given a second life. It should be borne in mind that, in principle, trees tolerate these procedures quite calmly and normally recover after pruning and shaping.
Frost protection Is another important condition that must be maintained by gardeners. The fact is that the winter period can be very harsh, both for adult plants and for young seedlings. Therefore, it is necessary to protect plantings using materials such as glass wool and roofing material, reeds, spruce forests, thick paper.

If the trunk has been damaged by rodents, pests or mechanically by the gardener himself, then the place of damage is carefully cleaned with a knife, smeared with garden pitch to prevent further penetration of infection into the bark. From above, it is better to tie up the trunk with dense material that will allow a small amount of air to pass through.
In general, if you create such conditions for planting, you can reduce the risk of injury, freezing or other negative manifestations from the planting side. The main thing is to be able to recognize in time some negative manifestations on the part of the variety, its some signals that it is worth being more attentive to agrotechnical moments, and then the gardener will achieve an excellent and significant result.
Let's talk a little about what pests are, and how they can be dangerous for the cherry tree.In general, the variety is quite resistant, and with all this, it is quite rarely affected by such common diseases as moniliosis or coccomycosis, which can lead to the inevitable death of the plant.
Rodents can attack Pamyat Vavilov cherries, but not very often. The thing is that the bark of the tree is bitter, and with its taste, it does not attract rodents or other pests at all. This is another plus of planting, as it can regenerate itself.
The disadvantage of planting is that the tree is very tall, it is quite problematic to care for it, and it is not easy to harvest the resulting crop. Sometimes the fruits of Pamyat Vavilov's cherries can crumble, but in rare cases - usually gardeners manage to collect most of the harvest, preserving it and using it for universal purposes.
Conclusion
In general, if the gardener maintains all these conditions, then there is a high probability of getting a very decent and tasty harvest. The most important thing is to simply take into account the needs of the Pamyat Vavilov cherry variety, its characteristic features and properties. You should not independently carry out any work to support the plant, you should also not interfere with its vital activity when there is no need for it.
Only thanks to timely care in accordance with all the rules will you get a healthy, beautiful, decorative and productive cherry tree that will have a long life in a variety of climatic and temperature conditions. If the gardener has decided to plant the Pamyat Vavilov cherry variety in a warm climate, then he can resort to autumn planting, sometimes you can also use spring plantings.
Basically, cherry Pamyat Vavilov perfectly adapts to any conditions, he demonstrates remarkable indicators of growth and development. The most important thing is to simply monitor the well-being of the variety, take into account the nuances and subtleties, due to which the planting may, to one degree or another, show not the best features.
