Cherry seedlings

Every gardener dreams of growing ripe, juicy cherries on his plot, which he would not be ashamed to serve. In order to get a good harvest, you need to choose the right cherry seedlings, because Not all varieties are suitable for growing in certain climatic zones.

Most nurseries grow cherry seedlings, which are oriented for industrial planting, they have a high standard, and are convenient as an industrial crop. But for growing homestead crops, other seedlings are required.

In the southern regions, cherry seedlings can reach two meters, in nurseries in the south, cherries are grafted onto Magaleb cherries (antipica). In the south, cherry seedlings have time to ripen and prepare for winter. If tall seedlings are planted in a different climate, they will be very delayed in growth and will go into winter completely unprepared. For central Russia, it is better to choose cherry seedlings with a trunk height of up to 20 cm or to grow trees with several trunks in bush form.

In the middle zone, northern varieties of cherries grow well, which are grafted onto cherry seedlings. A good result can be obtained by grafting cherries into the crown of an antipka, but only winter-hardy forms are suitable for this method.

It is better to purchase cherry seedlings in spring and autumn. When purchasing cherry seedlings it is necessary to pay attention to the root system, the roots of the seedlings should be powerful, the color on the cut should be light cream.

You cannot dry out the roots and leave the leaves on the branches, as the seedling with leaves will quickly lose moisture and will take root worse.
