CHERRY TORCH - KALITVYANKA - ONE PLUSES!

Of a dozen varieties of cherries, growing on my site, one is kept apart, and I strongly recommend it to all owners of suburban areas.

It is a Kalyvianka. He also has another, popular name - Torch, which, in my opinion, very accurately reflects the most important virtue of this cherry: not just an annual, but extremely plentiful harvest. In general, in this sense, I consider Torch the champion.

Well, judge for yourself: with a five-year-old tree about 2 m in height last year, I collected two buckets of fruit, i.e. about 16 kg of large and surprisingly tasty berries, which are good both fresh and in any form.

This sort I would refer to the so-called natural dwarfs, which are characterized by a compact, mushroom-shaped crown, with which it is very convenient to collect fruits. Nevertheless, it is necessary to protect the tree from the faults of the main skeletal branches and breaking off the small horizontal ones, so I, as soon as the berries begin to blush, I install numerous supports under it.

But this cannot be attributed to the lack of the Kalitvyanka Torch - this is just a reasonable precaution on my part. Why do I need to test a tree for strength?

But the low growth of the cherry and its slackness help it to withstand without loss the strong and cold winds in winter. And it grows on my southern side of the economic block. There it is almost always calm, in winter it sweeps a lot of snow, which protects my pet from frosts. It comparatively painlessly suffered even a cooling to -NNUMX °, in the spring it blossomed normally and then still generously fruited.

In short, my Torch "glows" every year, and nothing can extinguish it.

A few words concerning the pollination of this tree. It grows in 8 m from other cherries, which makes it possible to recognize the undemanding nature of this variety in the choice of a particular pollinator. Do you think an unreasonable conclusion?

Well, what do you say about the cherry Turgenevskaya, which is exactly in the same company, but gives full ovaries only partially? It seems to me that Kalitvianka-Torch has every reason to get another plus in the treasury of its merits.

It fructifies on bouquet formations, which are formed in a large number, both on biennial branches, and on older ones. And the berries grow larger brushes, but they themselves are by weight no more than 3-4. True, the description of the variety indicates that the mass of fruits is over 5 g, but I think this can be achieved only by removing part of the ovaries in the spring. I'm still satisfied with everything; and the number of berries, and their quality.

“So a second! - the attentive reader will exclaim. - And where are the flaws? They are not here? It doesn’t happen! ” It does not happen, I agree.

But the minus of Kalitvyanka-Torch is the same: by autumn the tree is very depleted, and in the spring it does not become dystrophic, I feed it regularly with complex fertilizers and spray biopreparations for the prevention of fungal diseases (especially moniliosis).

Bandage for garden dressing

In front of my house there is a cherry tree growing on the street, which we were about to remove, as three decent frost-free wounds appeared on its trunk. But, digging through the library, I found a book on gardening 1957 year edition, where I was drawn to the section on the treatment of diseased trees. In particular, it was said there that the damage on their bark needs to be bandaged with a black film. So I decided to try it on cherry, since she is still sentenced.

In the spring, she slightly cut the bark dangling along the edges of the wounds and, putting on rubber gloves, covered it with thick cow dung (without straw), mixed in half with clay. Then she cut into a strip a large dense cellophane bag, tied a barrel around it and fastened it with ropes. And the whole year to cherry no longer touched.

At the beginning of last season, having removed the film, I saw that all the wounds were perfectly tightened. In general, we have left cherries, having broken only the crown. And what do you think? She gave a good harvest!

A few years ago I planted a seedling of a felt cherry behind a shed that covered the tree from the north wind. Kustik took root, began to grow, but soon I noticed that the leaves were raised and turned not to the sun, to the south, but to the north-west. What kind of miracles?
Time passed, and the foliage did not even think of assuming a normal position, its reverse, “underside” side was even visible. I examined carefully - everything is in order with the trunk, bark and branches. She started looking around her (I really searched for something, I don’t know what) and unexpectedly saw 4 meters from a tree, just in the north-west, a bush of black currant crept to me from its neighbors. So who turned my cherry away! She looked like a child who covers his face with his hands at the sight of something terrible. And it was precisely blackcurrant that scared her!

I transplanted this bush, and the cherry quickly put herself in order. Unfortunately, in three years it died out due to a sharp change in thaw and frost. But now I know for sure that cherries with black currants are absolutely not friends.
