Cherry Teremoshka: reviews of gardeners about the variety

• Vasily Andreevich, 54 years old, Leningrad region: “The suburban area is in a quiet place. I decided to plant cherry trees, among them the Teremoshka cherry variety is the earliest. Already harvested 2 crops. The tree is seven years old, short in stature, but the crown is dense.Perhaps, the influence was exerted by the dressing laid in the hole. A year later I add humus, in the autumn season I mulch with horse manure with humus. For the winter, I still make a shelter for all plants. The kidneys were damaged from frosty temperatures, but only slightly. In the spring season, the trees did not suffer from the cold snaps, thanks to the fumigation. "
• Anna Mikhailovna, 50 years old, Oryol: “We have been cultivating sweet cherries Teremoshka since 2010. At that time we laid a garden with cherries of medium and late ripening. The variety was not surprised by the harvest; there are more generous varieties. However, fruiting is regular, the fruits do not crack, they are perfectly transported, they are able to be stored a little. The berries of the Teremoshka cherry are delicious, dessert. Excess fruits go to compotes and confitures, which are well sold. To make cherries develop normally, we spray them stably. "
