Cherry Successor: variety description and characteristics

Cherry Successor is considered one of the selected cherry forms, which was obtained through free selection and pollination. The South Ural Research Institute is recognized as the originator, and A.E. Pankratov. Since 2002, the successor cherry has been undergoing special state tests, but even since then it has become a favorite of many gardeners and gardeners.

The bush of the Cherry variety Successor turns out to be quite interesting, compact, has an average height. The crown is spherical, medium thickening. In general, during flowering, the planting looks incredibly attractive, but, with all this, you should definitely pay attention to the requirements that relate to planting the variety and the subsequent care of it.

The successor cherry fruits are rather large and round, fragrant, colored in a dark red tint. The pulp turns red, the juice turns out to be the same red, the taste characteristics of the variety are rated quite high, so this variety has already earned its share of love and popularity. The flowering period of the successor cherry variety falls in the middle or end of May, and the fruits ripen around the end of July, doing this not at a time, but rather gradually. Fruiting begins about the fourth year after planting the variety in open ground.

Cherry Successor is a partially self-fertile variety on which part of the crop can be formed without additional pollination. Still, gardeners recommend planting several other cherry trees nearby that have the same flowering time. The yield of the successor cherry variety is quite high - up to seven kilograms of harvest can be harvested from one shrub, but it should be borne in mind: excellent results are obtained only after the gardener has made every effort to care for the plantings. The successor cherry is also suitable for growing on an industrial scale, since the fruits normally tolerate long-distance transportation and can be stored quite calmly for a long time.

Berries of the successor cherry variety 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. Cherry Successor is appreciated by gardeners 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.

Cherry Successor has several bright and key characteristics, which 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 profitable to him. Cherry of the Succession variety is characterized as a mid-season variety, the fruits ripen in July, but if a tree is planted in the southern region, it is highly likely that the fruits will reach their consumer ripeness 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 Successor also gives a bountiful and very regular harvest, it is very high quality and quite tasty. 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.

Secrets of planting and caring for the variety

Cherry Successor perfectly takes root on light and loose soils. If we talk about the soil composition, then, as a rule, cherries generally feel great in medium loamy soil mixtures. The acid reaction should be neutral, and the soil should be such that moisture does not stagnate in it. Due to stagnation, the root system can experience severe stress, plantings will grow several times slower than expected. And, in principle, there is a high probability that the roots will begin to be affected by putrefactive and fungal growths, which will lead not only to a decrease in immunity, but also to the death of the planting as a whole.

Pits for planting cherry seedlings Successor in depth should be up to half a meter, and their diameter varies from half a meter to sixty centimeters. Again, one should focus on the size of the seedling itself, on the size of the root system - the roots should be comfortable in the hole, not cramped, there should be free space. If this is not a single, but a group planting, then there should be a distance between the seedlings, which is about three meters.

Before planting, seedlings of the successor cherry variety 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, as well as so that the seedling does not break or be damaged by a gust of winds. The root collar should protrude about three to four centimeters above the ground surface.

The complete algorithm for planting the successor cherry 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 - root for several hours
• The successor cherry seedling is placed in a pre-prepared pit, 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
• Further, soil is poured onto the roots of the successor cherry, 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 seedling 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. It is best not to use very cold water, as it will put a lot of stress on the planting. 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.

When the tree of the successor cherry variety matures, the agricultural technology can be slightly changed. For example, it is worth increasing the number of waterings - 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 of the successor cherry variety 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.

Cherry Successor: reviews of gardeners

• Maria Stanislavovna, Sverdlovsk region: “The Cherry Successor is a real decoration of my garden plot. Especially during the flowering period, it pleases with its beautiful appearance. Berries of the successor cherry variety are very tasty and sweet. And the shrub itself has increased resistance to frost and some diseases and pests. "

• Ekaterina Maksimovna, Moscow region: “I like that the successor cherry variety gives rich yields, and even frost is not an obstacle to its development and flowering. It should be noted that the successor cherry looks very attractive, especially during flowering - the crown resembles a blooming fragrant ball. With all this, the bush does not need to be formed, which makes it much easier for me to take care of the Successor cherry variety ”.
