Cherry Zmeinogorskaya: reviews of gardeners
- Marina Igorevna, Chelyabinsk region: “For me, the Zmeinogorskaya cherry variety is one of the best varieties for growing. A high indicative yield is the main advantage for me. In addition, the taste qualities of the Zmeinogorskaya cherry variety completely suit me (the fruits are sweet, with a slight sourness). I was also personally very pleased that the pollinating varieties of Zmeinogorskaya cherries are already growing on my garden plot. This greatly facilitated the development of the cherry tree. ”
- Alexander Ivanovich, Voronezh region: “I have a contradictory opinion about the Zmeinogorsk cherry variety.On the one hand, the yield is high, the fruits are attractive in appearance and very tasty, the ripening time of the variety also suits me (the ripening of cherries of the Zmeinogorskaya variety occurs in the last days of July. Shoot growth, according to my observations, ends from July 1-10, the leaves stop falling off October 10-20). On the other hand, I did not like the fact that the Zmeinogorskaya cherry variety has a weak immunity to coccomycosis and is not very frost-resistant, frozen in summer frosts. "
