Young trees are sheltered in the winter for shelter, adults do not need shelter, except in a blanket made of snow. You can help cherries with great comfort to winter and steadily throw her snow on the branches.

Choose the seedling correctly

For planting in your summer cottage it is necessary to select the seedlings correctly. If you plant Tiutchevka, then immediately select the varieties for pollination, so that they simultaneously begin to bloom and bear fruit. What kinds of planting for pollination, you can find above the content of the article, in the subtitle "Description of the tree." So, what do you have to face? Firstly, with an unscrupulous seller who, using the ignorance of the client, simply slips the cherry in place of the sweet cherry. But you will find out about this only in the period of fruiting, which will take place in five years. Secondly, you can choose a weak shank, which is also not very good. To begin with, we will learn how to distinguish cherries from cherries:

1. Cherry cherry trees are distinguished by the fact that they are more tall than cherry, the upright branches are strong.
2. Pay attention to the bark: the cherry is gray-brown, and the cherry has a brown, with a noticeable reddish tinge.

Being guided by these signs, you will definitely get the desired tree.

Next, you need not make a mistake in choosing a healthy and thoroughbred seedling. Its age should not exceed three years, the optimal for planting will be biennial seedlings of sweet cherry Tyutchevka. The size here also matters, the stem must be strong, not less than eighty centimeters in length. It should have three or four healthy shoots. On the bark, look for a trace from the vaccine, the presence of it suggests that the tree is truly pedigreed.

The bark of the seedlings should be absolutely smooth. On a healthy tree there should be no traces of freezing and signs of disease.

Have a good look at the root system of the acquired planting material. It should be strong, have at least three branches, the length of which exceeds 20 centimeters. If there are signs of rot, freezing, or they are completely dry, advise the seller to get rid of this specimen, it will not be possible to save even the most experienced agronomist. If the roots are too dry, but the brown core is seen on the cut, then you can buy, the tree needs reanimation. It simply needs to be put in the water for a day. So you are also a lifeguard, and you will be proud of yourself, collecting a good harvest from the rescued!

Selecting a landing site

If you incorrectly choose a place for the growth of cherry, you will remain not only without harvest, but without the tree itself. The sapling simply does not get accustomed and will perish. So, we start bypassing your territory.

Cherry Tiutchevka prefers to settle from the south or south-west side, in a place where the northern winds do not penetrate. You can plant it on a nice gentle hillock or on the south side of the walls of the house, there is always a lot of sun, the wall will save from the winds.

Sweet cherry of any sort does not tolerate even a short-term stagnation of moisture, so it is planted on the slopes. Pay attention to the groundwater flowing in the depths. Soaking up the root system initially leads to inhibition of the development of culture, and then to its death. Agree, it will be very insulting if a tree, well grown up, one day just die.

Preparing the soil

When you have found the ideal place for the growth and development of your beautiful cherry, prepare for the preparation of a comfortable soil. Of course, this occupation is not easy, but still, after doing this work once, you will later observe the active growth of the tree.

Ideal for the development and growth of cherry loam, soil with a neutral acid content. The soil must be air-and water-permeable. Clayey soil, peat bogs and deep sandstones are not suitable for cultivation of sweet cherry.

To prepare for a landing site should be in autumn. The site is digested, and the land is enriched with compost and manure, minerals (sodium sulfate and superphosphate). If the soil is acidified, and this can be determined by a plantain growing well on it, then it must be neutralized. To do this, take a pound of chalk or lime per square meter of the site, sprinkle the soil with these ingredients and dig.

We plant the stem

If you live in the southern region, then plant the culture in the fall, until the middle of October. Are you an inhabitant of the middle band? Postpone the landing until the spring. Cherry Tjutchevka well will get accustomed, if appears in a dirt in the end of April while its kidneys yet did not swell.

Between the pits for planting, observe a distance of three meters. The pit itself should have the following dimensions: 0.6 meters in depth, 0.8-1 meters in width. Place for planting is prepared two weeks prior to disembarkation, so that the ground has time to settle. If you added lime and manure to the ground, which did not have time to become neutral, then dip the roots of the cuttings into a clayey or mud mash so they do not get burns from the fertilizers. Root the roots in the pit exactly, do not bury the root collar. Pour plentifully, and formed after the watering the circle must be defused.
