Cherry plum the best varieties for Ukraine

Cherry plum, like a fruit tree, occupies a worthy place in the gardens of summer residents. And this is not surprising. Being a variety, or rather, a relative of the plum, the cherry plum tree is much more unpretentious than plum trees. Cherry plum trees are not afraid of dry periods, are less demanding on the composition and fertility of the soil, are very productive (one tree can give a summer resident 100 kg of berries per season), they live long (45-60 years), and the cherry plum varieties newly bred by breeders are also frost-resistant.

About cherry plum

Note that until recently, cherry plum could only be grown in regions where there are no severe winters or spring frosts, since the wild cherry plum is initially a thermophilic plant. But today, thanks to the efforts of breeders, cherry plum varieties have been developed that are resistant to adverse weather conditions. And varieties of such trees feel great in our gardens.

Cherry plum, as a culture, ripens very quickly (in August-September), and differs in that its fruiting begins already in the third year after planting the seedling. Like any fruit tree, cherry plum is propagated by seeds, grafts, or layering. The tree has very strong roots located close to the surface of the earth (in the upper layers of the soil).

The variety of cherry plum species is impressive!

Its pulp is green, yellow, pink, watery or fleshy-cartilaginous. Cherry plum taste can be sweet and sour, sour, or sweet and sour. The peel of the berry is red, yellow, orange, green, purple, black. The bone can be either well or poorly separated.

The color of the berry indicates a greater or lesser content of this or that useful substance in it. So, yellow berries contain a large amount of carotenoids, which are indispensable for vision, growth, skin, reproductive organs (their sexual development and maturation). And in black cherry plum there are many pectins and anthocyanins - natural helpers in the prevention of cancer and atherosclerosis.

Useful properties of cherry plum

This is about the trees themselves. And, if we talk about the beneficial properties of cherry plum fruits, then they are really very useful for the human body.

They contain carbohydrates, vitamins C, A, group B, and pectins, and trace elements such as potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus.

That is, cherry plum is an excellent addition to our diet, so the cherry plum tree is worth growing in your summer cottage.

And what delicious products you can cook from cherry plum, prolonging the benefits of the berry for the winter-spring avitaminosis period! Jam and tkemali sauce, jam and jam, jelly and juice, kvass and wine, compote and marmalade, as well as dried cherry plum as a prune - these are the delicious treats you can pamper your loved ones with, having a couple of cherry plum trees in your garden!

We add to this that decorative cherry plum trees have been created that have variegated or red (purple) foliage, or an interesting crown shape: weeping or pyramidal. Such trees very much decorate the summer cottage, from them you can create hedges, alleys, high curbs.

New varieties of cherry plum

Breeders are in constant search of new varieties of cherry plum so that the tree is as little as possible exposed to any negative influences from the outside: cold, drought, pathogenic microbes, fungi, pests. I also really want the seed to be easily separated in the berry, so that more nutrients are present in it, so that the tree begins to bear fruit faster, and brings the maximum yield.

Such goals are set by breeders. Scientists really liked the cherry plum as a "source material", since the culture easily crosses with any varieties of plum. Therefore, new varieties of cherry plum were given new properties:

• resistance to any external conditions (winter hardiness, drought resistance, undemanding to soil fertility);
• the presence in one variety of several medicinal properties at once, taken from several species at once (large-fruited, "fleshy", quick ripening, a certain color of the fruit, easy "bone separation", etc.).

Ripening dates for cherry plum

In different regions, cherry plum ripens in different ways, and for convenience, you can navigate by other plants - early varieties of cherry plum bear fruit simultaneously with late varieties of cherry, and later varieties - with late varieties of plum. Usually these are dates from mid-July (for early cherry plums, for example, the Gold of the Scythians) to the end of August (for the latest varieties, for example, Rumyanaya Zorka).

Cherry plum height

The cherry plum height usually ranges from 1.5 to 5 meters. The smallest are, for example, Tsarskaya cherry plum, and the tall ones are Mara.

Self-fertility

In almost any case, cherry plum for ripening requires that another variety of cherry plums grow next to it and the same flowering period for pollination. However, another plum is not suitable for pollination. Flowering dates are the same for those varieties that bear fruit at about the same time.
However, there are very rare varieties that, in a good climate and a good combination of circumstances, can bear fruit on their own. From our table, these include the Kuban comet and the July rose.

Separability of the bone

Another characteristic of cherry plum is the separability of the seed, that is, how easily the seed is separated from the pulp of the fruit. This is often very important, since in some varieties the pulp sticks very strongly to the bone, which is not very convenient when eating or harvesting cherry plum for future use. For example, these include the Traveler and the Gift to St. Petersburg. Fortunately, now there are many varieties in which the bone is separated from the pulp of problems, for example, Cherry plum Abundant

It is highly valued for its good yield (30–40 kg), but has low transportability and is prone to skin cracking at late harvest.

Mara

The Mara variety has a high frost resistance and strong immunity to diseases characteristic of stone fruit crops. Due to its abundant yield (40-50 kg), it is considered one of the most popular fruit crops.

Small-sized fruits with a rich yellow skin, similar to the bright sun, can be eaten raw and used for the production of jams, preserves, juices and compotes.

More than 100 varieties of cherry plum have been bred by breeders. All these varieties differ:

1. By the timing of ripening.
2. The size, color and taste of the fruit.
3. Productivity.
