What to do if the cherry does not bloom. Reasons for the lack of fruiting cherries. Nutrient deficiency

Fedor asks us: “Why does the cherry not bear fruit?”

This phenomenon can be explained by several factors, including the characteristics of the pollination of this stone fruit crop and the conditions for its cultivation.

Pollination Rules

• Beginner gardeners should know that they will receive their first harvest from sweet cherries five to seven years after they are planted. In full force, the tree bears fruit after 10-12 years.
• Most varieties of this fruit crop self-fertile, that is, they need close proximity to pollinating plants. To achieve maximum cross-pollination, plant at least three varieties of sweet cherries in the garden, the flowering of which will coincide in terms of timing.

• You can intersperse cherries with cherries on the plot, having learned the axiom: cherries always pollinate cherries, cherries never pollinate cherries. True, cross-pollination in cherry trees is much more successful than in cherry trees. Therefore, cherries bear fruit more intensively.
• "Folk Syubarova» - this is the name of a self-fertile variety of sweet cherries. Experienced summer residents well-known partially self-fertile varieties - "Ovstuzhenka" and "Iput". But self-fertile and partially self-fertile crops only benefit from cross-pollination, bringing more fruits of excellent taste.

By the way, it is "Iput" and the "Chermashnaya" variety that are considered universal pollinators for all sweet cherries in central Russia.

Why is it not fruitful

Bad weather during flowering trees also does not help. high yield. Insect pollinators are afraid of dampness and coolness, and pollen loses its "child-bearing" properties in intense heat.

The cherry tree does not bear fruit if you do not fertilize the ground in time. Proper feeding looks like that:

• in autumn, 70 g of potash and 200 g of phosphate fertilizers are applied;
• in spring - urea (70 g);
• as soon as the cherry blossoms, it is watered with water (10 l) with superphosphate (25 g), potassium chloride (15 g) and urea (15 g);
• two weeks later, the tree is "nourished" with this solution again.

Cherries grow well fertile lands neutral acidity, but do not like waterlogged soil and lack of air for the roots.

An excessively dense crown is another enemy of productivity: sweet cherries need sunlight. It is necessary to get rid of the affected, dried branches and those that grow inside the crown.

We must remember that the sweet cherry is not a particularly winter-hardy crop and often does not bear fruit due to freezing of the buds.

AT last years breeders have bred several cherry varieties that give delicious berries and with increased resistance to frost.

• The sweetest, medium-late ripening - "Veda", "Revna", Sinyavskaya, "Rossosh gold".
• A little sour, but also very juicy - « » , "Leningrad black", "Bryansk pink","Compact Veniaminova","Venus", "Fatezh", "Diana".
• The most frost-resistant and no less tasty - "Slava Zhukov" and "Julia".

And a little advice for those who did not have time to plant cross-pollinators for their cherries on the site. Try to find a blooming pollinator branch and place it in a bucket of water next to a blooming cherry tree. Perhaps soon you will be pleased with the first cherry berries.

Cherries have been cultivated since Ancient Greece, and in the Middle Ages in Germany there were whole cherry orchards. In Europe, this tree has been grown for 2000 years. Wild cherries grow in the Caucasus mountains. Greek colonists in the Crimea were also engaged in its cultivation. AT Kievan Rus they even wrote songs about cherries.

The sweet taste of cherries is loved even by birds. There is a legend that it was birds that brought it in ancient times.

Now in the world grow up to 4000 varieties of cherries. In many countries it is sold in stores all year round and is always fresh. The French make wine out of it.

Sweet cherries are very healthy, contain sugar that is easily digestible, minerals and various vitamins, a small amount of vitamin C and nicotinic acid. This berry has a wonderful taste, it is widely used in cooking. Its fruits strengthen blood vessels and are considered an excellent cure for anemia.

The cherry tree usually bears fruit annually. Various harmful insects it is less attacked than a cherry. However, there are periods when the cherry does not bear fruit. One of the reasons for this is the lack of flowering. Why the cherry does not bloom, let's try to figure it out now. Let's find out the most common causes of this phenomenon, and why the tree does not produce a crop.

One of the possible reasons for the absence of flowering buds in sweet cherries is poor root system tree or seedling. The reason for the underdevelopment of the root system of a fruit tree may be the wrong planting technology.

If the tree is too young, this causes the cherry tree to not bloom. There is a certain variety of sweet cherry that flowers and bears fruit after planting only after three years, and many other varieties produce a crop only after five years. You should not worry, just when buying a seedling in without fail get to know the variety and ask how fast the tree will yield.

Another reason that the cherry does not bloom is that the gardener has chosen the wrong place for planting. What needs to be done to fix the error:

• a tree is planted on the south side of the cottage;
• the area where the cherry grows should be protected from wind and drafts;
• it cannot be planted near other trees, they will create a shadow, and the cherry loves the sun;
• the tree must be rooted in light, air-saturated soil;
• it cannot be planted close to groundwater, this will rot the roots, and as a result, the tree will not produce a crop.

Another possible reason is that the landing was carried out incorrectly. If the gardener has no experience, then it is likely that he will plant the tree incorrectly. To get a good harvest when planting, you must follow the instructions:

• make a hole for a cherry seedling 60 cm deep and 80 cm wide. Add a little humus and fertilizer to it;
• the root neck should be at the level of the soil. It cannot be buried very deep;
• around the seedling it is necessary to make a shaft and water the soil well where the cherry will grow.

Much or little moisture is also one of the reasons that the tree does not bloom and does not bear fruit. AT summer period the tree is watered three times, the earth needs to be loosened a little, and in the autumn period it is necessary to irrigate.

The tree may still not be pollinated, which is also worth noting as a reason. Many varieties of sweet cherries need to be planted next to cherries, as they don't self-pollinate and need to be near other trees to do so. When there is no cherry near the cherry, it will not bloom and bear fruit.

Why didn't the cherry buds open?

Growing many stone fruit trees on the site requires experience, skill and, of course, knowledge. Lifespan and yield, like apricots or plums, this is an important set of components, the symbiosis of which will allow you to grow healthy tree and get a bountiful harvest every year. But it also happens that the trees woke up, the owner is already preparing for the first spraying from pests and diseases, and the buds on the sweet cherry have not blossomed? Why? Consider possible problems so that the garden pleases with powerful fruit trees and abundant harvests long years!

Reason number 1: non-compliance with the rules of cultivation

If we consider the reason that the buds did not bloom on the sweet cherry, it is worth paying attention to 2 important (main!) Components. Now - in more detail about one of them, despite the fact that only young tree, which was planted last year and until this spring everything was in order with it.

The reason here may lie in the wrong cultivation practices, starting with the choice of a place for planting, filling the planting hole, excess / lack of moisture, and even incorrect autumn pruning! It seems to many novice gardeners that there is nothing complicated in growing stone fruits: planted, watered, and forgotten. But it's not.

What should be done in this case? Analyze your own actions, note their correctness - and proceed to study the reason number 2 or note the mistakes - and try to correct them. So, a young cherry seedling will be healthy if:

• planted on the south/southwest side of the garden;
• near it there is no close occurrence ground water, which is detrimental to a young tree;
• laid down landing pit- 60 * 60 * 60 cm - minimum, with added humus, nitroammophos and wood ash;
• not deepened below the root neck;
• fed with organic matter at least 4 times per season;
• protected from pests/diseases;
• trimmed competently, forming a cupped / tiered crown.

Advice. non-compliance simple rules cultivation can result in young cherries not budding next spring. It is worth finding out if the cambium is alive, analyze the existing errors and reanimate the tree. Or plant a new one in compliance with all the rules.

Reason number 2: freezing of roots, crowns and stems

Most common cause the fact that the buds did not appear on the sweet cherry is the freezing of the roots or trunk. This applies to both young plants and those that have been fruiting for several years. And the whole reason is not so much in significant frosts, but in sudden changes in temperature. It is not a secret for our gardeners that the daily temperature fluctuation is possible in the range from 7 to 20C and this is the probable cause of freezing of the tree.

It often happens that the kidneys swelled, lived for a couple of days and began to fade. It’s just that there were still nutrients in the trunk and branches from last year, so they allowed the buds to give life and hope to the gardener. But things will not go further if the tree is frozen.

How to make sure that this is the true reason for freezing? Just! It is necessary to make longitudinal / transverse cuts both on the branches and on the roots and look at the color of the bark and cambium:

• light brown color will tell you that the tree was slightly damaged by frost and it is easy to reanimate it;
• a dark brown color will indicate that the tree has frozen significantly.

In the first case, competent pruning or spraying branches with ice water before sunrise (an innovative method that gives excellent results) will be a salvation in order to get a good harvest not only next year, but also this year. In the second case, you can plant a wild bird to the tree or bring a new plant out of dormant buds on a bole.

In a word, only a thorough analysis of the reason why the buds did not bloom will help the cherry to come to life. Give the tree enough time - and it will delight you with good health and a good harvest!

Why the cherry does not bloom: video

It is very disappointing when the cherry, which occupies a huge part of the garden with its dimensions, almost does not bear fruit at all. Especially if the neighbors have the same trees literally covered with berries. There may be several reasons.

NO POLLINATION

Almost all varieties of sweet cherries are self-fertile. This means that in the absence of a pollinator, only 5% of the fruits will be tied on them. Self-fertile varieties are able to set up to 40% of fruits, but they also bear fruit better if there is a pollinator.

Therefore, sweet cherries should be planted in groups - two or three trees each. And even better if, in addition to sweet cherries, plant one or two cherry trees. Especially good pollinators Lyubskaya, Zhukovskaya, Polevka and others.

If there is no space in the garden, then plant pollinating varieties directly into the crown of trees. And the fruits will different taste, and pollination will be in full order.

FUNGUS ARE BLAMED

If there are pollinators, but the trees still do not bear fruit, then it is likely that fungal diseases have visited your garden. One such disease is coccomycosis. In sick trees, leaves begin to crumble in summer, flower buds are poorly laid, and, as a rule, freeze out in winter. As a result, the trees cease to bloom profusely and bear fruit.

From coccomycosis, trees are sprayed with Oxyhom, Ordan or Ridomil.

The second disease that can completely destroy the crop is moniliosis. It appears during flowering and completely destroys the flowers. Affected shoots stand as if scorched by fire. You can cope with the disease with the help of Horus, which can be sprayed on trees right during flowering. After flowering, they are again treated with Skor.

WHEN THE WEATHER IS TO blame

The fruiting of trees is directly affected by weather conditions during flowering. Cloudy or too dry, or hot weather- this has a detrimental effect on pollen, and it does not germinate, even when it hits the right flowers.

In addition, in winter, during winter frosts, flower buds can freeze.

The risk of freezing of flower buds is especially high if the trees were overfed with nitrogen fertilizers and watered until late autumn.

CORRECT FEEDING

If the cherry does not bear fruit well, then it is likely that you have acidic soil in your area. In general, sweet cherry is a southern plant, and carbonate, that is, alkaline soils, prevail there. Therefore, in the Middle lane, it is useful to lime the soil before planting sweet cherries.

Just keep in mind that on alkaline soil there is often a lack of boron. If it is not applied, the trees may completely cease to bear fruit. Boron trees are fed on a leaf before flowering and immediately after it. For 10 liters of water, 5-10 g of boric acid is taken.

A bit of history

Cherry blossoms are a wonderful time of spring. In Russia, this period falls mainly at the beginning of May. Since ancient times, the fact that people have admired this spectacle - cherry blossoms has been known. That year, I remember, you walk down the street and in almost every courtyard of the new district there are flowering cherry trees with white petals alluring to them.​

Cherry blossoms in spring, if the climate is warm, then flowering begins

Cherries propagate different ways. By sowing seeds, grading is not transmitted by everyone, this is applicable only for felt cherries. In other cherries, the resulting plants may differ very significantly from the mother ones, although if seeds are sown with especially tasty and large fruits, you can get good copies.

Moniliosis, coccomycosis and others fungal diseases are found everywhere, often completely destroying all plantings of cherries in orchards. Preventive and therapeutic treatments against them are carried out without fail, from the beginning of the dissolution of the leaves. Copper and sulfur preparations are mainly used. All fallen leaves, fallen dried fruits and cut branches are destroyed to prevent the spread of infection.

Cherry blossom: structure

Keep in mind that early varieties with late ones cannot be pollinated, because they also bloom at different times.

The most winter-hardy and drought-resistant is the steppe and its hybrids with common sour cherries, which are recommended for northern latitudes and Siberia.​

Cherry flowers and their beneficial properties

​Quality planting material cherry is about a meter high, with several branches, and a branched root system of at least 20-30 cm, without signs of disease and damage on the leaves and bark. Usually seedlings of one or two years of age are sold, both with open and closed root systems.​

The flowering of this plant, unfortunately, is a short-lived phenomenon. The wind will blow, or it will rain, and the delicate cherry blossoms fall as soon as they bloom. Perhaps that is why the blossoming sakura in Japanese culture is a symbol of the impermanence of being, and in poetry - bygone youth and lost love. The Japanese carried the love for these flowers through many millennia.

Legends, rituals and beliefs associated with cherries

Cherry in Ukraine is a symbol of the native land, mother. BUT Blooming tree symbolizes the girl, the bride. Happy symbol family life is The Cherry Orchard. For any Ukrainian, whether he comes from a city or a village, the image of a cherry symbolizes his father's house.​

The natural world is amazingly diverse and beautiful. But truly a miracle can be called cherry blossoms. Blooming in early spring, they dress up every branch of the tree in gorgeous white or soft pink outfits. From ancient times to the present, cherry flowers evoke admiration, the most tender and touching feelings. About these flowers they compose poems and sing songs. Artists transfer the unsurpassed beauty of the cherry blossom to their canvases.​

No wonder so many poems have been written about cherry blossoms.

It all depends on where the cherry grows. For example, I live with middle lane Russia, and we usually have cherry blossoms in early May, although it depends on weather conditions. It happened that it bloomed in mid-late April, and it happened in mid-late May.

at the end of April

Own-rooted cherries are easily propagated by root shoots. Grafted cherries reproduce only by grafting. This method allows you to reproduce absolutely any variety you like, but with it it is very important to choose the right stock. Usually cherries are grafted onto seedlings of local resistant varieties or on wild forms of cherries and sweet cherries. When growing such cherries, it is important to control the grafting site, and not allow shoots from the stem to grow below the graft and from the roots.

If you dreamed of cherry and sakura flowers

To strengthen immunity on cherries, repeated spraying with Zircon is used (4 drops per 1 liter of water), which can be combined with treatment for pests or diseases. It has a very good effect on the growth of new shoots and in the case of leaf chlorosis, the treatment of cherries with Ferovit.

Early varieties often cannot set berries due to damage to the ovaries in the spring by return frosts. It is best to select several at the same time different varieties self-fertile varieties with a simultaneous flowering period with varieties - pollinators. It is good to have both early and late varieties, while the period of collecting fresh ripe berries is extended, and in case of freezing early varieties late harvest remains intact.

In the middle latitudes, common cherry hybrids are grown. They are relatively frost-resistant and more productive. Felt cherry is resistant to frost and coccomycosis, but can simmer and die during wet snowfalls, frequent in the west, and is severely affected by moniliosis.

When you buy a seedling in early spring, before bud break, it is not quite obvious whether it is alive or frozen (withered). But we can check something. If you scratch the bark of a healthy seedling, you can see greenish wet tissue. If healthy tissues are not found, and dry twigs break easily, the seedling is not suitable for planting. The presence of green tissues does not guarantee that the seedling will grow cheerfully and cheerfully, but if there are no green tissues, then this is definitely not a tenant. However, if the thinnest branches have dried up, then this is also not scary.

The tradition of admiring sakura during its flowering in Japan appeared a long time ago, during the reign of the Tang Dynasty. Aristocrats spent all their free time under a flowering tree: they listened to music, gambled and drank light refreshing drinks. During the reign of Emperor Saga, cherry blossom festivals began to be held. They gave rise to khans - modern tradition admiring flowers.

cherry blossom tattoo

Cherry has long been revered by our ancestors. They believed in the existence of her powerful patron God Kernis. In order for him to help get a good harvest, he had to be appeased, for which candles were lit on flowering trees. Around cherry blossoms performed the spring New Year's rite of the ancient Slavs.

Due to the unpretentiousness of these plants, resistance to dry weather and frost, the geography of cherry trees is extensive. They can be found in every corner of our planet. Cherry trees adorn gardens, parks, squares, lawns. This tree also grows on the side of the road, pleasing the eye of any person passing or passing by.

National symbol of Japan - sakura

I really like this poem written by Ekaterina Kamaeva:

Well, in general, I’m mostly waiting for cherry blossoms in May.

Japanese tradition - admiring flowers

, and if moderate,

Perhaps the most unfortunate option, but it is also often practiced, this is a grafting on a coppice stock. At the same time, the grading is preserved, but the excess shoots will be formed constantly in large quantities. Special clonal varieties have been bred for rootstocks that do not grow at all, and they are widely used in many nurseries. It is best to purchase seedlings grafted onto such rootstocks.

For good fruit set, cherries can be treated with microelements with a high boron content before flowering. Closer to autumn, while the leaves have not yet fallen, cherries are sprayed with a 0.5% solution of urea. This gives additional strength and protection against diseases.​

To get a good harvest and choose your favorite varieties, you should plant at least 5-7 varieties on the site for mutual pollination, in the immediate environment with each other. Pollinating varieties are planted from the main plants at a distance of no more than 30-40 m. Sometimes gardeners negotiate with neighbors in the plots and plant different varieties that can additionally pollinate each other.

Cherry Blossom: Legends

Rarely can be found decorative form cherries with double flowers- the so-called sakura.

Seedlings can be purchased both in spring and autumn, it is better, of course, in specialized garden centers, with a guaranteed (ha ha) grade. autumn seedlings are usually in much better condition, and the choice of varieties is richer in autumn. However, in regions with harsh winters planted late autumn cherries often do not have time to take root well and can freeze in winter, so autumn plantings practiced more frequently in southern regions and western regions, while gardeners in Siberia and the non-Black Earth region will receive top scores survival rate during spring planting.

During the Reformation era in the 19th century, cherry trees were cut down everywhere in Japan, considering them to be remnants of feudalism. But after some time, the tradition of admiring flowers was revived again, and now this holiday is considered the most beloved in Japan. With awe and excitement, the Japanese are waiting for the beginning of the holiday to enjoy the pristine purity and amazing beauty of sakura flowers.​

Cherry blossom - one of the most beautiful in the world

This pagan rite, according to legend, was later performed in Germany. For this, a flowering cherry tree was grown for the New Year, decorated with burning candles.

Cherries became known to people long before writing appeared. The peoples of the Mediterranean learned about it earlier than others, from where it came to the Caucasus and Persia. Later, the Romans appreciated the cherry. And already in the first century AD, it became widespread throughout Europe: it began to be grown in Britain, the Germans and Belgians liked the flowering cherry. But in Russia it appeared much later.

Cherry in the garden - planting, seedling selection, pollination

In more southern regions, cherries may bloom earlier - at the end of April.

Seedling selection.

How can one not remember "The Cherry Orchard" by A.P. Chekhov? Indeed, a blooming garden is very beautiful. Cherries bloom around April-May. The exact time depends on the region and when the long-awaited heat came. For example, in Belarus, in mid-April, you can already see blooming cherries, especially in cities, it’s a little warmer there, although our cherries in the village have not yet blossomed, but they are about to blossom, but the apricot is already blooming .. Spring this year early.​

then in May

Cherries often suffer from freezing, especially in snowless or harsh winters. Particularly affected are non-zoned varieties, as well as weakened and diseased ones. Feeded trees overwinter better on time, top dressing with ash is of great importance for strengthening immunity. Plants well watered in September-October also tolerate frosts more easily. In the spring, cherries can suffer from return frosts and, at the same time, from burns. To protect against them, the trunks are whitened from autumn, and closer to spring, if necessary, whitewashing needs to be updated.

If in the spring the cherries look weakened after wintering, you can also treat with a solution of urea or potassium nitrate after flowering, and then again after 1-2 weeks, you can add stimulants and insecticides to the treatment.

Cherry is a good pollinator for most varieties, but keep in mind that it blooms before cherries. Therefore, despite the fact that cherry pollen remains alive on the body of a bee for about a week, successful results can only be achieved by pollinating the earliest cherries with late flowering cherries.

According to the appearance of the fruits, cherries are divided into moreli, with a dark skin color and dark juice, and amorel, with a lighter skin color and colorless juice. By the nature of growth, they are distinguished by bush, they are not higher than 3 m, they live no more than 15 - 20 years. Tree-like cherries in the south can grow over 7 m in height, and their life expectancy can reach up to 25 years (cases of 50 years are known).

Grafted or rooted?..

If you are gardening in a region with severe winters, then the seedlings acquired in the fall, if they were not planted before frost, it is better to dig horizontally on winter storage, sprinkled with a thick layer of soil or mulch, and subsequently with snow, and planted in the spring.

The modern holiday of khanami begins in the capital, gradually moving to other cities and villages. Across the country, special headquarters are being created, where information about the time of cherry blossoms flows. About the first blossoming bud magic flower immediately becomes known to everyone through the media.​

Variety selection.

Our ancestors had a sign: a cherry tree planted near the house will bring good luck and prosperity. The first date of lovers under this plant will bring them happiness.

So, during the reign of Yuri Dolgorukov, the cherry orchard was the decoration of any corner of Moscow, the flowers of which fascinated with their beauty and aroma. The founder of Moscow brought cherries from Kyiv. She became the first fruit tree to be grown in Russia. At first, only the inhabitants of the royal estates and monasteries enjoyed and admired the taste of fruits and the beauty of flowers, and only in the fifteenth century the cherry moved to peasant farmsteads, having won universal love.

The Cherry Orchard in spring is a flower lover's paradise. Cherry blossoms in such a way that even the tree itself is not visible, I’m not talking about the leaves at all. A cherry tree in spring is one fragrant airy cloud, it is beyond words.

There is such a work by Tamara Kvitko, which is called "Cherry Blossom Time" and begins like this:. Cherry blossoms are not just a beautiful sight, but also fragrant, white and light pink flowers adorn urban and rural landscapes, trees can be seen even on roadsides.​

From pests

As already mentioned above, plant cherries better in spring once the soil has thawed enough to be able to dig a hole. In a seedling with bare roots, the buds must not yet be open, otherwise, when the leaves open, the roots that have not had time to take root will not be able to provide the seedling with moisture, and it may die. For the same banal reason, the ground under the planted cherry should not be allowed to dry out, it should be watered throughout the first half of summer, at least once a week, and at least 1-2 buckets under a bush.

What are cherries.

By the method of pollination, cherries can be like

Pollination. Why cherry blossoms, but there are no fruits.

​➡ There is a stubbornly cultivated belief that closed-root seedlings can be purchased and planted all season long. However, earlier spring planting(before bud break) there is a very important advantage - such a seedling cannot become infected with coccomycosis, because infection occurs through the leaves. Therefore, we strongly advise you to still plant cherries in the spring. With the beginning wild flowering cherry blossom festival begins. People still gather under flowering trees near the walls of ancient monasteries, palaces, in parks and gardens, enjoying the beauty of the sakura flower and pleasant conversation with loved ones.​ People have long used the language of flowers to convey messages, invitations to visit, declarations of love. With its help, they expressed admiration, sympathy, regret, hatred, disgust. Any flowering tree is beautiful, but cherry is especially admirable. When you look at cherry blossoms, you want to sing, read poetry, do something good. It is no coincidence that the cherry tree is so fond of the people. In Varna, for example, cherry trees can be found everywhere. They decorate squares, parks, gardens and courtyards of the city. And in Taiwan, there are annual festivals in honor of cherry blossoms. Tourists from all over the world come to the festival. Similar festivals are held in Washington DC and Macon, Uzhhorod and Seoul. They originate from the time when, in 1912, cherry seedlings were presented to an American friend by the mayor of Tokyo.​ Cherry blossoms, as I remember from previous years, in early May. Really, is there anything more charming than cherry blossoms? I really love those times (albeit short-lived!), When the cherry begins to bloom. In Siberia, this happens at the end It becomes very beautiful when the cherry blossoms, the leaves on the tree are almost invisible, only white flowers. Such aroma and beauty around, the mood immediately rises, it's a beautiful spring, and very soon summer.

Question from our subscriber Sergey:

For cherries, the most unpleasant can be considered the cherry weevil. From it, it is necessary to process the ovaries immediately after the flowering of the cherry, with any insect repellent, better - systemic action, if necessary, repeating the treatment after another week. If not processed in time, white beetle larvae will start in the berries. Outwardly, such berries look deformed, with black dot on its side, and can fall completely.

Cherries love the sun and are afraid of the winds, so for their cultivation it is best to choose gentle slopes, preferably south, southwest or west. They also like to grow along the south side of the fences: there is enough sun, less wind, and more snow lingers, which means more humid.​

self fertile

You should always find out if the seedlings are offered own-rooted, which are more frost-resistant, or grafted, starting to bear fruit a couple of years earlier, and more productive. You should also find out what the acquired cherries are grafted on. If on special rootstocks, then such varieties do not give shoots, and you do not have to spend your precious time on a constant and almost unsuccessful struggle with it.

Landing.

Cherry blossoms are delicate and beautiful. They personify human life, are considered the embodiment of beauty. Japanese woman. The Japanese people have many beliefs and legends associated with this flower.

Landing place.

The meanings of colors were transferred to dreams. To see cherry blossoms in a dream is a good change in fate and good news. If in a dream you pick a cherry blossom, it means that you have tender feelings for your lover. It's good if you see cherry blossoms blooming before your eyes. This is a sign of recognition and appreciation of your abilities. Happy changes await you if you dream of cherry blossoms. Plant a tree in a dream - to great wealth.

When you look at pictures where cherry blossoms are presented in all their glory, it is impossible to resist the desire to see this miracle in reality. Cherry during flowering could not be ignored by poets, artists, writers. In Russia and Japan, in Ukraine and Bulgaria, in Taiwan and America, they sing cherry blossoms in their works, which symbolize the beginning of spring, love, tenderness, youth and rebirth.​

A flowering tree is a symbol of spring, rebirth and resurrection of life. Just a few days ago, the branches of the tree were unsightly and "dead", and today life has blossomed on them! Amazing!​

But cherry blossoms, mainly in

Cherries don't bloom. The sweet cherry is planted as a stone, it has been growing for 5 years. I transplanted it to another place, and in height it is already 4 meters and there are few side branches. I cut her ends in the summer so that she squeezes out her kidneys. I constantly water and fertilize it. Looks like she needs to be vaccinated. Never bloomed yet. Maybe she grows in a bad place? They say you need to look for a place with the help of a pendulum. To stand above that place and hang a pendulum above the ground - this is a rope and a nut, and if the load starts to rotate clockwise, then the place is good and suitable for landing. And if counterclockwise, it’s bad and the plant will not grow, no matter how you feed and water it.

Fertilizer and watering.

Other pests are also treated with insecticides during fruit formation and after harvest. Before flowering, nothing is treated with pesticides so as not to interfere with pollination. beneficial insects. Loosening can be considered good protection against pests. trunk circles where most cherry pests pupate and overwinter, and whitewash the lower part of the trunks and shoots.

Cherry treatments for diseases and for better growth.

The disadvantage of planting on the southern slopes is the early melting of snow, and as a result, early sap flow and flowering. And return frosts, alas, have not been canceled.

, (such varieties can form fruits without the presence of additional pollinators on the site), and

The disadvantage of grafted seedlings is that subsequently it will not be possible to take young shoots for reproduction, because it grows from the lower part - wild, and good harvests from such growth, if it is seated, it will not.

Sergey, it is difficult to answer your question right away. You did not write the cherry variety, what is the soil, the height of groundwater. There can be many reasons for the lack of flowering of cherries - from violation of the rules of planting, pruning to "fatting" due to excess fertilizer. If you have peaty, clay soil, upper layer with an excess of sand, the tree will not bear fruit. If groundwater comes close, the roots can rot. Cherries are not self-fertile, so if you don't have another cherry pollinator tree nearby, then there won't be any fruit. There are varieties of sweet cherries that lay flower buds after 5 years of growth. So pay attention to these elements. I doubt about the pendulum, but maybe someone more knowledgeable in this matter will answer you.​

Soils are best sandy or light loamy, pH-5.5 - 7.0. The humus layer of soil should be at least 18 cm. Ground water should not be closer than one and a half to two meters. Acidic soils are deoxidized with lime - fluff, or, even better, ash.
