Cherry Bryanochka: variety description and pollinators, planting and care, reviews with photos

Cherry has always been considered a southern plant. Gardeners and gardeners of the middle lane and northern regions could not even dream of growing fruit crops on their plots. But thanks to the many years of work of breeders, new hybrid tree varieties have been successfully bred, which are grown in a temperate and cold climate. It is to these varieties that the sweet cherry Bryanochka belongs, which has already managed to fall in love with gardeners and summer residents.

History of Bryanochka cherry

Hybrid cherry variety Bryanochka, bred by well-known breeders as a frost-resistant fruit crop recommended for planting and breeding in the central regions of the country. In the State Register, a new variety of sweet cherry was registered 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 the creation of a hybrid fruit tree.

Main pros and cons

Bryanochka fruit trees are able to bear fruit in regions with the most unfavorable climate and low temperatures for other plants.

Variety advantages:

1. Resistance to sudden changes in temperature, frost resistance.
2. High immunity to diseases and pests.
3. Late fruiting.
4. High palatability.
5. Small size trees.
6. High yield.
7. Long-distance transportation possible.

Flaws:

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

Important! Cherry Bryanochka is also suitable for planting in the southern regions of the country.

Variety description

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

Tree height and crown size

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

Pollinators, blooms and yields

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

Sweet Bryanochka requires suitable neighbors for fruiting. Therefore, when planting seedlings, take care of the right pollinators for sweet cherries. The best for pollination of Bryanochka will be frost-resistant hybrids of Veda, Tyutchevka or Iput cherries.

Also suitable are any varieties of fruit trees that have a flowering period at the same time. If cherry trees are planted in neighboring areas, then they will be a suitable pollinator for your trees. Berries with sweet, juicy pulp are protected by a dense skin. The average fruit weight is 4.5 g, in some cases larger berries are found, up to 7-7.5 g.

The yield of the variety is high. With proper care, an adult plant brings up to 50 kg per season. delicious and juicy berries.

Transportability and scope of berries

The dense skin of the fruit allows you to transport the crop over long distances without loss of presentation and taste. During transportation, the fruits do not crumple and do not deteriorate. Therefore, the Bryanochka variety is grown not only in gardens and orchards, but also on an industrial scale.

Delicious, juicy fruits recommended for fresh consumption. Desserts, juices and nectars are also prepared from them, canned, jams, marmalades and marmalades are cooked. And for the use of berries in winter, cherries are frozen.

Cherry breeding

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

1. Reproduction by bones. In this case, don't expect to get exactly the type of plant you planted. When propagated by seeds, hybrid varieties lose many of the qualities grafted on them.
2. Propagation by cuttings. This way of growing new trees makes it possible to get strong, viable seedlings.
3. Cherry grafting. In most cases, this method rejuvenates already old trees that have ceased to yield.

Important! Choosing any of the breeding methods, the climatic conditions of the region where the tree is planted are taken into account.

Culture characteristics

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

Resistant to low temperatures and drought

The tree is able to endure severe frosts and sudden changes in temperature. Even after cold winters, Bryanochka quickly recovers and begins to actively grow and develop. A flowering plant can also withstand slight frosts. Cherries do not like excess moisture. But in drought requires additional watering.

Susceptibility to disease and parasites

Bryanochka trees have natural immunity against clasterosporia, moniliosis and coccomycosis. But in order for the plant not to undergo other fungal diseases, proper and timely care is enough.

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

Planting cherries

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

Optimal timing

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

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

Selection and preparation of the site and landing pit

Trees are planted in flat areas or small hills well ventilated and lit by sunlight.

Important! On the land allotted for planting seedlings, there should be no groundwater.

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

Organic and potash, phosphate fertilizers and top dressings are added to the dug planting hole. Soil with fertilizers is prepared in advance and only after 2 weeks young seedlings are planted in the pit.

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 transmits sunlight well, so a flower garden under the plant will be appropriate. But the neighborhood with a pear, currant or apple tree is not suitable for cherries. This is due to the powerful root system of the sweet cherry, which will not allow other plants to develop.

How to prepare a seedling

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

1. The root system has no damage, putrefactive, fungal and other manifestations, well hydrated.
2. The seedling has many branches. If there are leaves on the branches, then they are checked for pests and rot.
3. The main trunk, which is also a conductor, should not have branches.

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

Planting technology

Insert the seedling into the prepared hole. Place the roots evenly in the hole and cover with earth. There should be no voids between the roots of the tree. Thoroughly tamp the ground 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

Proper and timely care of Bryanochka cherries will increase the yield of he althy berries.

Water and feed the tree

Cherry does not tolerate excess moisture. The plant is abundantly watered only 3 to 5 times during 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 abundantly watered in the spring before the onset of the growing season.
2. The following irrigation activities are carried out during the cherry blossom season.
3. When fruiting, the tree also needs abundant watering.
4. The last, most important watering occurs in late autumn.

Important! Long rains will not benefit the plant. Therefore, during bad weather, it is recommended to cover the ground around the tree with waterproof materials.

Feeding plants is carried out simultaneously with watering.

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

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

Irrigation work is carried out with settled, warm water in well loosened soil.

Caring for the trunk circle

Caring for the near-stem circle 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 trunk circle with dry grass or sawdust.

Cutting rules

Formative pruning is done every spring, starting from the first year of the tree in your garden. New tiers of the tree are formed annually from the strongest branches. The rest of the taps are cut off.

Also, sanitary pruning is carried out at the sweet cherry. During this procedure, dry, damaged and frostbitten branches are removed. In early autumn, weak and extra branches are cut off from the plant. Such activities will allow the tree to more easily endure winter frosts

Disease prevention

In order to grow a strong, he althy and fruitful tree, preventive measures against diseases are necessary. In early spring, sweet cherries are sprayed with a solution of urea or copper sulfate. The near-stem circle of the plant is also subject to processing. Cuts and breaks are treated with garden pitch.

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

Protection of cherries from pests

In early 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 crops. Although Bryanochka is a winter-hardy variety, for wintering it must be insulated with burlap or coniferous branches. From damage to the bark by forest animals, the trunk of the sweet cherry is protected by leaves of hardboard or plywood.

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

Reviews of summer residents

Galina. Bryansk.

Cherry Bryanochka our family fell in love with immediately. The first harvest was received in the fourth year. There was so much that they ate jam and jam all winter. And the frozen berries went for dumplings.

Anna. Sevastopol.

For 10 years every year we have been looking forward to the harvest of our favorite tree. Compotes and jams are just delicious. The berry is very sweet, so I add a minimum of sugar to preservation.
