In this article, we will tell you more about the features of the yellow cherry, since in reality it is very popular, as well as some advantages over some varieties of classic cherries.

Yellow cherries: popular varieties

The first variety of yellow cherry, which we will consider, is called Dachnitsa. These are trees of rather medium height, which have a very spreading and rather dense crown. Trees are distinguished by the fact that they perfectly tolerate both excessive drought and too strong frosts. At the same time, the berries are very sweet and juicy and, most importantly, have an excellent presentation. They can be stored for a long time, they can be transported over long distances and do not worry at all that they will lose their useful or taste qualities and properties. At the same time, there is also a disadvantage of the variety - it is self-fertile. This means that it cannot produce crops without pollination. Thus, nearby pollinating varieties should be adjacent, which will just help the yellow cherry of this variety to give a bountiful and tasty harvest. The stone inside the fruit is large enough, it can be perfectly separated from the pulp, especially when the berries are finally ripe. Fruiting of this yellow cherry variety begins about the fourth year after the seedling has been planted in the open ground. The height of the tree usually reaches three meters, one fruit weighs from seven to eleven grams, while the harvest can be harvested quite early - already in mid-June, the gardener can enjoy tasty and juicy berries. If we talk about varieties that will become ideal neighbors and pollinators of this variety, the Talisman cherry, Melitopolskaya cherry, and also Drogana yellow are distinguished here.

Just the next variety that we will consider is one of the pollinators of this cherry variety - Drogana yellow. These trees are popular not only in our country, but without exaggeration all over the world. This is due to the fact that they perfectly adapt to a wide variety of natural and climatic conditions, they can also take root in conditions that do not differ in temperature stability. Thus, this variety can be found more often than all other varieties in areas that are located both in the European part and in Asia.

The tree turns out to be very tall, while it has a very dense deciduous part. In the garden, he needs a lot of space, or, otherwise, the tree does not take root, and the harvest will be very meager. But if the tree is located on a spacious plot, receives enough solar heat and light, then, as a result, the harvest is incredibly rich and extensive.Flowering can come quite late, so the plant as a whole does not lend itself to recurrent spring frosts, which is also an advantage, especially for those trees that gardeners plant in central Russia, where such a problem is quite common. The variety is distinguished by the fact that the berries are especially large, they have a rounded shape, the pulp is very sweet and juicy. Gardeners claim that this variety contains the largest amount of vitamin C, which is so beneficial for the human body and for its vital functions. In addition to the fact that Drogana yellow gives an excellent harvest - sometimes up to 130-150 kilograms of tasty and fresh berries can be harvested from one tree, this variety is also valued for the fact that it perfectly tolerates severe frosts or periods of drought. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the fact that this variety is almost never affected by common fungal diseases, so that the plant can be safe. One way or another, this variety of yellow cherry also needs additional care, it needs the gardener to give the plant regular feeding, watering, and also, in general, to inspect the crown for damage. The variety is excellent for pruning, both sanitary and formative. If we talk about the shortcomings, then of course they are. For example, the bone, which is inside the fruit, is separated from the pulp with very great difficulty, and the fruits themselves are very tolerant of transportation over long distances, since the berries have a very thin peel, and if suddenly the fruit is damaged, it will rot in just a few hours ... Also, these berries are completely unsuitable for freezing them, the whole point is that after the berries are thawed, their thin peel bursts, and they lose their presentation, their taste. Therefore, this variety is nowhere near as versatile as many other yellow cherry varieties. Fruiting of the Drogan yellow variety begins about three years later, sometimes five years after the seedling was sent to the open ground. The tree is tall - it reaches six meters, while the weight of the fruit is on average eight grams, which, of course, is a fairly significant and high result. In principle, like many other varieties, this one is self-fertile, so it needs pollinating varieties that will grow in the neighborhood. Most suitable for this are such varieties as Donchanka, Sisrenka and Aelita, which have similar characteristics, and therefore are so suitable for the implementation of similar purposes.

Mlievskaya yellow cherry - the trees reach a sufficient height - above the average yellow cherry tree, the crown is very wide pyramidal, has an average level of density, which makes it quite convenient to harvest. Only with age can the shape of the crown change - it becomes more rounded, asymmetry may appear, which is simple enough to correct - it will be enough to form the plant. The berries are large enough, juicy, the stone is separated from the fruit very well and easily, especially if the berries have reached their maximum ripeness. But still, the variety has a disadvantage, which is very significant. The thing is that in a harsh winter, when there is no precipitation in the form of snow, trees can freeze a lot, and therefore, if the variety grows in central Russia, where such conditions develop quite often, then the trees additionally need shelter, otherwise it will freeze and will die. If the variety grows in the south, then there the trees give an excellent and high-quality harvest, and at the same time, no care or hassle is required from the gardener to get an excellent result and harvest. Fruiting occurs about five years after the seedling has been planted on the site, and the height of the tree does not exceed four meters.At the same time, the weight of the fruit varies from 5 to 6 grams, the harvest usually falls on the second half of June. This variety, unlike many other cherry varieties, is self-fertile. This means that he does not require any additional pollinators to create or improve his yield. Of course, in this case, the gardener wins a lot if he chooses this particular variety, which is worth paying special attention to.

At the same time, the tree grows very quickly, its crown grows to an incredibly large size, so it must be periodically trimmed and trimmed. This variety belongs to the early type; in central Russia, during flowering, the buds are not even exposed to recurrent frosts at all, which, of course, is a huge advantage that cannot be ignored. Fruits are round, yellow flesh, sweet taste with pronounced sourness. The berries contain a large amount of antioxidants and, most importantly, a large amount of vitamin C. But there is also a disadvantage of the variety. It consists in the fact that a very large bone is located in the fruit, but at the same time it is perfectly separated from the pulp, therefore this deficiency is sometimes compensated for. Also, in growing, the gardener will have to spend a sufficient amount of time and effort, since the variety needs constant pruning, takes up a lot of space on the site in front of or behind the house. For this reason, many such large plants cannot be planted, so one to two trees can be planted. Fruiting begins six years after planting in the ground, the height of the tree reaches four meters, and the weight of one fruit is 5.5 grams. The crop is harvested in the first half of June, it turns out to be very tasty.

The density is medium, so it is quite convenient to harvest, and the fruits are medium in size, very sweet. The berries have a medium-sized stone that separates perfectly from the pulp, which has matured to the required state. The tree differs in that it perfectly tolerates severe frosts, therefore it feels quite comfortable in different regions of our country, in particular in central Russia. Also, another advantage is the fact that, in general, the plant perfectly tolerates fungal diseases, does not undergo infection with such bacteria that provoke moniliosis or coccomycosis. It is also worth emphasizing that, in general, the trees are strong, they are not attacked by pests, but it is still worth inspecting the trees and some preventive treatments just in order to once again make sure that the plant is safe and that it does not exist. the risk and threat of such infections. It is also worth considering the fact that the tree of this variety has an average level of winter hardiness, therefore, in the spring, especially if there is a risk of recurrent frosts, trees may freeze, which negatively affects the quality and abundance of the harvest, so you need to keep this in mind and protect plant, especially the lower part of the trunk. Fruiting occurs in the fourth, sometimes in the fifth year after planting the tree, its height reaches five meters in the most favorable conditions. The variety is self-fertile, so it needs pollinating varieties. These include Iput, Ovstuzhenka or Raditsa.Also, ideally, the Fatezh cherry variety is suitable, which has very similar characteristics that you need to pay attention to. In general, fruiting and harvesting begins at the very beginning of June, at this time cherry fruits can be harvested, the weight of one berry is about five grams, which makes them medium in size if you rely directly on this indicator.
