    Cherry in flowers, but without berries
    Cherries of large-berry varieties bloomed well, but did not bear fruit. Watching the trees, came to the conclusion: the reason is that simultaneously with the cherry blossoms cherry. And if there are many in the district, she collects almost all bees. Cherry does not remain. To attract these useful insects to their garden, last year planted a bush of bird cherry on the site. Let's see if it helps.

    In the meantime, the following method helps me out: on the ladder I go up to the top of a cherry blossom with a bucket of fine sand, with which a handful of a handful sprinkle the entire crown from top to bottom. I do so 2 times with an interval of several days. And every year I harvest a good harvest of cherries. Two more wild cherries planted near the plot, which 10 years beautifully blossomed, but they did not give berries. I decided to instill in the skeletal branches cuttings of large-berry cherries. True, one tree died from sunburn. But the second well develops (it has a cherry stem, and the crown - cherries). And, importantly, it pleases the harvest every season.

    Is it possible, on the contrary, to plant cherry cherry in the cherry crown?

      A more effective way to attract bees to pollinating cherries is spraying trees with an 5% solution of sugar or honey (50 g per 1 L of water). As the inoculum components of cherry and cherry are well compatible with each other, but differ in their different growth powers. Therefore, on the site of vaccination, as a rule, a large influx is formed.

    What to do if cherries and cherries bloom well, but do not bear fruit very well ... What could be the reason?

      There can be several options, let's enumerate them all.
      Firstly, the lack of pollinating varieties. It is a pity that you did not write what types of cherries and cherries grow on your site, then we could pick you pollinating varieties. But you can do it yourself - just plant one variety of cherries and one variety of cherries that blooms at the same time as the varieties of cherries and cherries already growing in your area. Or graft another type of cherry stalk into the crown of the cherry, and graft the other grade stalk into the crown of the cherry, and when a full branch develops from the stalk, its pollen will be enough to pollinate the whole plant, and the yields will be “very”.
      The second option. Your plants fall either under provocative thaw in winter, or under recurrent frosts in the spring. If you are talking about freezing during the flowering period, smoke fires can be made around the site (if neighbors do not mind) and thus raise the temperature in the garden (if there is no wind). But with provocative thaws it is more difficult. Cherries and cherries are responsive to them, and if during the winter the temperature rises to a positive mark, generative, that is, floral, buds can begin to awaken. Naturally, the subsequent frosts will ruin most of them, and the crops will be "not very".

      The third reason. You planted outdated varieties or varieties that are not suitable for your zone, then the crops will be "not very" even without any external factors.
      And finally, the cherry elephant (or weevil) - it can damage the fruits at an early stage, when they are just tied, and they will crumble. To get rid of the cherry elephant, you need to loosen the soil in spring and autumn around the trunk circles of cherries and cherries, remove the old bark from plants where the elephant can winter, use the permitted insecticides immediately after flowering of the cherries and cherries, and repeat 5 days after the first treatment. And also to attract birds to the garden, which, however, along with the cherry elephant can spoil the harvest of sweet cherries, but then you have to choose.
