To date it has been released large number cherries Many novice gardeners get lost in such a variety of cherry trees and do not know which variety they need. When choosing a seedling, you need to be guided by the following factors: self-fertility, need for sunlight, amount of harvest, resistance to drought, speed of berry ripening, whether the tree bears fruit regularly, immunity to fungal diseases and pests, flowering period of the crop, frost resistance.

The last factor (winter hardiness) will be discussed further. You will learn which varieties of cherries can withstand the harsh winters here and, at the same time, produce large harvests in the summer. We will talk about the pros and cons of these varieties and much more.
