Description of the Bryanochka cherry variety, planting and care, pollinators

Cherries have always been considered a southern plant. Gardeners and vegetable gardeners in the central and northern regions could not even dream of growing fruit crops on their plots. But thanks to many years of work by breeders, new hybrid tree varieties have been successfully developed that are grown in temperate and cold climates. It is precisely these varieties that include the Bryanochka cherry, which has already become a favorite among gardeners and summer residents.

The history of the Bryanochka cherry

The hybrid cherry variety Bryanochka was bred by famous breeders as a frost-resistant fruit crop, recommended for planting and breeding in the central regions of the country. A new cherry variety was registered in the State Register in 2009.

The main developers of the new plant variety are world-famous breeders Kanshina M.V. and Astakhov A.A., who for many years conducted experiments on creating a hybrid fruit tree.

Main pros and cons

Bryanochka fruit trees are capable of bearing fruit in regions with the most unfavorable climate and low temperatures for other plants.

Advantages of the variety:

1. Resistant to sudden temperature changes, frost resistance.
2. High immunity to diseases and pests.
3. Late fruiting.
4. High taste qualities.
5. Small size of trees.
6. High yield.
7. Possibility of long-distance transportation.

Flaws:

1. The beginning of fruiting occurs in the 5th year of tree growth.
2. The variety is not capable of self-pollination, so it needs pollinators.

Important! The Bryanochka cherry is suitable for planting in the southern regions of the country.

Description of the variety

A new type of cherry appeared as a result of crossing several varieties of fruit trees.One of them is the “Red dense” cherry, and the other is a hybrid type of fruit tree CH 8-14.

Tree height and crown size

This cherry variety rarely grows to a height of 5 meters. The average tree size is 3.5-4m. The crown has a rounded shape with sparse, oval leaves and spreading branches. Due to the sparsely planted leaves, sunlight penetrates faster to the berries, which is an important factor for fruit ripening.

Pollinators, flowering and yield

The active flowering period occurs at the end of spring. It is at this time that the plant becomes covered with large white inflorescences.

For the Bryanochka cherry to bear fruit, it needs suitable neighbors. Therefore, when planting seedlings, take care of the right pollinators for cherries. The best varieties for pollinating Bryanochka will be the frost-resistant hybrids of the Veda varieties, cherry Tyutchevka or Iput.

Any variety of fruit tree whose flowering period occurs at the same time is also suitable. If cherries are planted in neighboring areas, they will become a suitable pollinator for your trees. Berries with sweet, juicy pulp are protected by a thick skin. The average weight of the fruit is 4.5 g, in some cases larger berries are found, up to 7-7.5 g.

The variety has high productivity. With proper care, an adult plant produces up to 50 kg per season. tasty and juicy berries.

Transportability and scope of application of berries

The dense skin of the fruit allows the crop to be transported over long distances without loss of presentation and taste. During transportation, the fruits do not wrinkle or spoil. Therefore, the Bryanochka variety is grown not only in gardens and vegetable gardens, but also on an industrial scale.

Tasty, juicy fruits are recommended for fresh consumption.They are also used for preparing desserts, juices and nectars, canning, making jams, preserves and confitures. And to use the berries in winter, cherries are frozen.

Cherry propagation

There are several ways to propagate your favorite cherry variety in your garden.

1. Reproduction by seeds. In this case, do not expect to get the exact variety of plant you planted. When propagated by seeds, hybrid varieties lose many of the qualities imparted to them.
2. Reproduction by cuttings. This method of growing new trees makes it possible to obtain strong, viable seedlings.
3. Cherry grafting. In most cases, this method is used to rejuvenate old trees that have stopped producing crops.

Important! When choosing any of the propagation methods, the climatic conditions of the region where the tree is planted are taken into account.

Characteristics of culture

The Bryanochka variety of cherries was bred specifically for cultivation in different climatic zones. Therefore, the plant has certain properties and characteristics necessary for proper growth and care.

Resistance to low temperatures and drought

The tree can withstand severe frosts and sudden temperature changes. Even after cold winters, Bryanochka quickly comes to her senses and begins to actively grow and develop. A flowering plant can also withstand light frosts. Sweet cherries do not like excess moisture. But during drought it requires additional watering.

Susceptibility to disease and parasite infestation

Trees of the Bryanochka variety have natural immunity against klyasterosporiosis, moniliosis and coccomycosis. But to prevent the plant from being exposed to other fungal diseases, proper and timely care is enough.

The main enemies of cherries are aphids and cherry flies.Pests not only destroy the crop, but can completely destroy the plant.

Planting cherries

Proper and timely work on planting Bryanochka cherry seedlings is the key to obtaining a large harvest of tasty berries in the future.

Optimal timing

The planting time depends on the climatic conditions of the region in which the tree will grow. In warm southern climates, planting work is carried out in the fall. Young seedlings have time to take root and easily tolerate mild winters.

But in the central zone of our country and its northern part, planting work is carried out in early spring. Over the summer, seedlings gain strength and nutrients, which make it easier for them to endure harsh winters.

Selection and preparation of a site and planting hole

Trees are planted on flat areas or small hills that are well ventilated and illuminated by sunlight.

Important! There should be no groundwater on the land plot allocated for planting seedlings.

The soil for the planting pit is prepared in advance. Typically, such work is carried out in the autumn, even if the planting of seedlings is planned in the spring months. Lime is added to soil with a high acid content. For autumn tree planting, the soil and pit are prepared 2-3 weeks before the planned work. To do this, dig a hole 60-70 cm deep and 80-90 cm in diameter.

Organic and potassium fertilizers are added to the dug planting hole. phosphate fertilizers and fertilizing. The soil with fertilizers is prepared in advance and only after 2 weeks are young seedlings planted in the hole.

What can and cannot be planted next to crops

The best neighbors for Bryanochka will be any other varieties of this fruit tree, cherry, plum or cherry plum.The sparse foliage of the tree allows sunlight to pass through well, so a flower garden under the plant would be appropriate. But the proximity to a pear, currant or apple tree is not suitable for the cherry tree. This is due to the powerful root system of cherries, which will not allow other plants to develop.

How to prepare a seedling

It is recommended to purchase planting material for fruit hybrids from nurseries or specialized garden centers. The seedling must meet the following standards:

1. The root system has no damage, putrefactive, fungal or other manifestations, and is well moistened.
2. The seedling has many branches. If there are leaves on the branches, they are checked for the presence of pests and rot.
3. The main trunk, also known as the conductor, should not have any branches.

Before planting, carefully inspect the roots and remove damaged ones. Next, the seedlings are placed in water. If the plants were well moistened, then 2-3 hours is enough. Seedlings with a dry root system are left in water for 10-12 hours, and only then are planted in open ground.

Planting technology

Insert the seedling into the hole prepared in advance. Place the roots evenly in the hole and cover with soil. There should be no voids left between the roots of the tree. Carefully compact the soil around the planted plant and form a small ditch around the tree, into which pour 2-3 buckets of water.

How to care for Bryanochka

Correct and timely cherry care variety Bryanochka will increase the yield of healthy berries.

Watering and fertilizing the tree

Sweet cherries do not tolerate excess moisture. The plant is watered abundantly only 3 to 5 times throughout the entire season. If cherries are grown in drought conditions, then irrigation work is carried out more often.

1. The first time the tree is watered abundantly is in the spring before the onset of the growing season.
2. The following irrigation activities are carried out during the cherry blossom period.
3. When fruits form, the tree also needs abundant watering.
4. The last, most important watering occurs in late autumn.

Important! Prolonged rains will not benefit the plant. Therefore, during bad weather, it is recommended to cover the soil around the tree with moisture-proof materials.

Work on feeding plants is carried out simultaneously with watering.

During the first years of growth, cherries do not need additional nutrition, and only from 3-4 years the tree is fertilized.

1. During the growing season, the tree requires nitrogen fertilizers.
2. With active formation of ovaries - organic matter.
3. The last time the tree is fed is before winter rest.

Irrigation work is carried out with settled, warm water into well-loose soil.

Tree trunk care

Caring for the tree trunk will protect cherries from fungal diseases and pests of the root system. The soil is cleared of weeds and thoroughly loosened. Also a useful procedure is to mulch the tree trunk circle with dry grass or sawdust.

Pruning rules

Formative pruning is done every spring, starting from the first year of tree growth in your garden or vegetable garden. Every year new tiers of the tree are formed from the strongest branches. The remaining branches are cut off.

Sanitary pruning is also carried out on cherry trees. During this procedure, dry, damaged and frozen branches are removed. At the beginning of autumn, weak and unnecessary branches are cut off from the plant. Such measures will allow the tree to more easily withstand winter frosts.

Disease Prevention

To grow a strong, healthy and fruit-bearing tree, preventive measures against diseases are necessary.In early spring, cherries are sprayed with a solution of urea or copper sulfate. The tree trunk of the plant is also subject to treatment. Places of cuts and breaks are treated with garden varnish.

Before winter rest, special preparations are used to help the tree endure hibernation painlessly.

Protection of cherries from pests

At the beginning of spring, it is recommended to treat the plant with special preparations that prevent the development of pests on the plant. Such treatments are repeated throughout the season.

Important! Chemical treatment of plants is carried out long before fruiting and harvesting.

Preparing for winter

During the winter months, the tree must rest and gain strength for new harvests. Although Bryanochka is a winter-hardy variety, for wintering it must be insulated with burlap or pine branches. From damage to the bark by forest animals, the cherry trunk is protected with hardboard or plywood leaves.

Before wintering, cherries are watered abundantly, because damp soil freezes more slowly.

Reviews from summer residents

Galina. Bryansk.

Our family immediately fell in love with the cherry Bryanochka. The first harvest was received in the fourth year. There was so much of it that we ate jam and preserves all winter. And the frozen berries were used for dumplings.

Anna. Sevastopol.

For 10 years now, we have been looking forward to the harvest of our favorite tree every year. The compotes and jam are simply delicious. The berry is very sweet, so I add a minimum of sugar to the canning.
