Features of cultivation and subtleties of care
The cherries of the Dessert Morozova variety are not much different from other varieties in terms of care, therefore, general recommendations apply to it.
To push the beginning of flowering and protect the buds from frost, it is necessary to collect it in the snowdrifts around the trunks in early spring, before the snow melts.
In the first year, in order for the plant to take root better, experienced gardeners advise cutting off up to 80% of all flowers. In the future, it is recommended to remove half of the possible yield at the stage of the onset of fetal formation. The remaining berries will be larger and sweeter. This operation is called crop rationing.
In autumn, the trunk should be whitened to branches.
Almost all types of soils under cherry need periodic liming. Once every 5-6 years, dolomite flour is introduced: 300-600 g / m, depending on the soil. Less on light, more on heavy soils.
Cherry prone to the formation of basal shoots, which should be periodically cut, because there is no benefit from it.
For the prevention of winter freezing, you can wrap the stem with covering material. Some gardeners use nylon tights for this purpose.
Watering
Cherry requires regular watering, which is especially important in the following periods:
- the beginning of flowering;
- the beginning of the formation of fruits;
- immediately after harvest, at the time of laying the flower buds of next year.
Watering rate - 1 bucket per adult tree 2 times a day (morning and evening). The quantity adjustment is dependent on weather conditions. In a dry year, watering is required even in autumn, until October.
Top dressing
Periodically, you need to loosen the trunk circle and make fertilizers. In spring, before flowering begins:
- ammonium nitrate - 15-20g / m2;
- superphosphate - 30-40 g / m2;
- potassium chloride - 10-12 g / m2.
In the summer, during the fruiting period, it is good to feed the trees with mullein infusion. For this:
- A bucket of fertilizer is poured with 5 buckets of water.
- Add 1 kg of ash and leave to infuse for a week.
- Then diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 5 and watering the resulting composition (1 bucket per tree).
