Growing conditions
Planting Bryansk pink sweet cherries should be approached carefully, because the variety is picky about the place and soil. The tree will not grow on clay or peaty compounds. If the groundwater is closer than 2 m to the surface of the earth, the place is also unsuitable. Areas on the north side will not work. In addition, drafts are dangerous for the tree. Cherries should not be planted in lowlands.
The best place will be the one located on the southern gentle slope. Planting by the fence will protect the tree from the wind. But such a location, due to the early melting of snow, often leads to the premature appearance of buds, which is dangerous due to recurrent frosts.
If the cherry grows close to the structure (less than 3-4 m), it can damage the foundation with roots.
Bryansk pink needs a lot of light. Dampness is dangerous for wood. He needs loose soil, such as loam or sandy loam. The optimum acidity level is 6-7 pH.
The seedling should be purchased in early May. An undamaged specimen with kidneys is selected. It will be better if the root system of a young tree is closed.
The soil extracted from the planting pit is mixed with manure or compost, ash and coarse sand are added. The seedling is placed in the center, covered with soil, leaving the root collar above the surface of the substrate. Water with 2-3 buckets of water, trying not to erode the soil. Put mulch on top. The seedling should be tied to a support.
Water the tree 2 times - after flowering and harvesting. Sanitary pruning is carried out regularly. Adult branches are rarely shortened, since fruits are formed on them. Shoots 50-60 cm long must be pinched so that they do not give powerful growths.
You should not fertilize cherries. Top dressing is applied only if the tree grows on poor soils (use 1 bucket of compost for 1 tree).
If in winter there are strong temperature drops during the day, the trunks of the Bryansk pink are wrapped with agril. In regions with cold climates, special frames are made, on which the shelter is pulled.
