    In a small area, every meter counts. Is it possible to plant a hybrid of cherries and cherries (duke) in the place of a spruce removed a year ago? And does a seedlings need a pollinator if cherry of the Molodezhnaya variety, sweet cherry of the Homestead variety grow in 4-5 m, and a cherry of the Vladimirskaya variety from a neighbor? I would be grateful if you also recommend a sort of duke.

      —After eating, the soil is likely to be acidic, but prefers neutral. Therefore, I advise this place: in the spring one week prior to digging, add dolomite flour (2-3 kg per 10 sq. M).
      As for pollination, cherries and cherries already growing in your and neighboring areas will quite cope with this task. The same Youth variety is a self-fertile and good pollinator for many varieties of cherries, including dykes.

      And in order not to miscalculate with the choice of a seedling, focus only on varieties zoned in your region, buy in specialized, proven nurseries. I can recommend the duke of the popular Zhivitsa variety, which has established itself well in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
