Main varieties of columnar cherries
This type of fruit tree is in special demand. Due to their small size and compact root system, they can be grown not only in open ground, but also in flowerpots. The advantage of such plants is that they take root well and begin to bear fruit quickly.
Variety "Baby"
This species is characterized by good productivity and attractive appearance. It is “Malyutka” that is often used to create an unusual interior. The berries of this variety are juicy and bright red. Ripe fruits weigh up to 10 grams. Due to their good taste, they are perfect for various processing. Flowering occurs in early spring.
Pink buds. A distinctive feature of this variety is its good yield and ability to self-pollinate. The tree grows up to two meters high, which makes it possible to plant it even in small areas. The trunk is straight with many shoots.
Columnar cherry “Delight”
This variety is the work of Dutch breeders. It was released in 2015, but in a short time managed to win the hearts of many gardeners. Good varietal characteristics and impressive yield contributed to this popularity. From an adult tree you can collect up to 35 kg of berries per season. The weight of the fruit ranges from 10 to 15 grams. The berries have a rich red color. The pulp is very juicy and sweet. This variety ripens in mid-July.
Columnar cherry "Vostorg" belongs to the group of dwarf plants. When properly maintained in the garden, the tree can grow up to 2 m in height. Due to its decorative properties, it is often planted in pots and containers. The crown of the plant has a narrow pyramidal shape, with virtually no branches. The first fruiting can be observed in the second year of life. Caring for this variety is very simple. Cherry copes well with many diseases, but is quite sensitive to low temperatures.
Columnar cherry "Queen"
This is one of the largest varieties of columnar cherries. The tree grows up to 2.5 meters tall. The plant blooms colorfully, emitting a pleasant, rich aroma that can spread over a significant distance. The fruits are dark red. Their weight reaches 7 grams.

Columnar cherry "Asha hybrid"
This is one of the new varieties that was bred from cherries called “Ashinskaya”. The plant tolerates difficult weather conditions and harsh winters well. The tree is small. Its height does not exceed two meters. This plant is grown both for harvest and as an ornamental tree. Self-pollination of the “Asha hybrid” occurs partially, therefore, in order to increase its fruiting, the pollinator tree “Admiration” should be planted nearby. The berry ripening period occurs in the second part of July. Mature trees are capable of producing up to 30 kg of harvest. The berries are sweet and very aromatic. They tolerate transportation well over various distances.
All of the above varieties are very easy to care for. Growing a young dwarf tree on your site will not be difficult. Minimum rules - and your plant will become the best decoration of the estate.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Positive traits:
- precociousness;
- characterized by stable yield without periodicity;
- withstands frost and tolerates heat well;
- has high commercial and taste qualities;
- has compact dimensions;
- excellent transportability and long-term storage of the crop.
Disadvantages include self-sterility and average resistance to fungal diseases.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of dwarf trees compared to tall ones are:
- Easier harvesting and maintenance.
- Rapid growth and development, early harvest.
- The culture's high cold resistance allows the plant to overwinter without the need to build a shelter in most regions.
- Availability of cultivation both on individual farms and on an industrial scale.
- Fruiting quality.
- Compactness of the plant.
- The plant is undemanding to the growing soil.
- Abundance of harvest.
- Resistant to wind and drafts.
- Good and quick adaptation to a new place of growth.
- Versatility of use.
The main disadvantages are the taste of the fruit (there is sourness) and their small size. However, due to everyone’s personal preferences, many gardeners will be able to name these criteria as strengths.
Also, due to the lack of pollinators nearby, there may be a decrease in yield.
Features of cultivation
The variety is cared for in the same way as other crop varieties:
- the plant grows better in a sunny area;
- prefers light, well-drained, non-acidic soil;
- planted early in autumn or in spring;
- water intensively for the first two years, then as needed;
- feed only before planting, the next time fertilizer is applied only after the start of fruiting;
- Only young plants are covered for the winter; after the fruiting stage begins, the crop acquires stable immunity to low temperatures.
Trimming
The crown of the crop forms independently. You just need to correct it. After the snow melts, cut off broken, dry and diseased branches. In autumn, cut off excess shoots. If there is no special need, then it is better not to touch them. The cut area must be covered with clay or special putty. Untreated areas can easily become infected, which can lead to the death of the tree.
Crimson cherry cultivation and care
This variety is grown like any other cherry. Before planting, you need to take care of good lighting, since Crimson is a type that prefers a large amount of sunlight, then the place of growth should be in a sunny area. The soil must be drained and loosened to ensure lightness and the possibility of oxygen supply. Loamy and non-acidic soil is perfect for growing. You also need to take care of the season for planting. It could be autumn time or spring time. This choice depends only on the gardener.
Feeding.
During the planting process, a complex fertilizer is added to the soil, which will nourish the tree throughout the whole year. Next year you will have to add more fertilizing. The type of feeding will depend on the stage in which the tree is located. When forming buds or fruits, it is recommended to apply fertilizers based on nitrogen or phosphorus. A complex fertilizer is also suitable, which saturates the root system of the plant with all the necessary microelements.
Preparing for the winter period.
At the end of autumn, when the first frosts begin, you need to take care of the cherries. If winters are cold and the temperature reaches -28 degrees, then it is recommended to cover the tree. For shelter, you can use a thick layer of earth or peat, which will be laid around the pillar. Spruce branches can be laid on top of the peat.
Carrying out pruning.
Due to the dense crown, regular pruning is necessary. During pruning, all dry, broken branches must be removed. It is also recommended to get rid of diseased and weak shoots and parts of the tree.
Pruning is necessary before the start of winter, as well as at the beginning of spring.
Note: After pruning, it is necessary to treat the cut with garden pitch or garden resin.
Cherry resistant to coccomycosis
Capricious trees, which have low immunity to most diseases, and especially to such a common and very dangerous cherry scourge as coccomycosis, will rarely be able to make their owner happy with a tasty harvest. Too much effort must be made to protect the sissies, and in unfavorable weather conditions it is often impossible to do anything to save the crop. This is why it is so important to choose disease-resistant varieties.
Turgenevka is a mid-season, partially self-fertile variety with good winter hardiness and disease resistance. Cherry forms medium-sized (up to 3 m) trees with a reverse pyramidal crown. Large (up to 5 g) dark red fruits are distinguished by high commercial quality and sweet and sour taste. Despite its overall high winter hardiness, the variety is distressed by the poor resistance of flower buds to the effects of negative temperatures.
Reviews
Alyona. Crimson cherry is prone to moniliosis; it has to be processed 3 or even 4 times during the entire growing season. But it pleases with stable yields that do not decline for a long time, my tree is already more than 20 years old, I harvest at least 6.5 kilograms of fruits a year. It is not difficult to select pollinators; most varieties bloom in May. When growing in the Leningrad region, there were never any cases of significant freezing; only the weakest branches were damaged, which were already awaiting pruning.
Ivan. No matter what anyone says, crimson cherries are very valuable to me, because this is a taste from childhood! The fruits have more sweetness than acidity and a rich, pleasant aroma. The variety is universal in processing; we make compotes, juices, jams, make cherries in their own juice and liqueur. There were no problems during cultivation, but Crimson cannot be planted even in partial shade, otherwise the taste will deteriorate and the tree will become prone to disease. I do pruning every spring, and in the fall I only remove the leaves and water the tree abundantly.
