Due to its partial self-fertility, the Shy is rich in crops that can be served and put into workpieces.

Felt cherry for the Moscow region

In the gardens of the Moscow Region in the spring, you can often see small shrubs or shrubs entirely covered with white or pink flowers. Against the background of nature that has not yet awakened, early ripe varieties of felt cherries look like newcomers from fairy tales.

Felt cherries are often ahead of ordinary cherries not only in terms of flowering, but also in age at which they begin to bear fruit.

Early ripening varieties of cherries will be treated as first fruits at 4-5 years old, while felt varieties will please the harvest for 3-4 years. Among the greenery of the foliage, like red lights, red berries will appear. Due to the very short stalk, there is a feeling that the branches are covered with cherries. This is another decorative feature of felt cherries.

The close arrangement of fruits to branches became the basis for mistakenly reckoning felt cherries as colon-shaped plants. People draw an analogy between apples and cherries, completely forgetting that these are different genera of the same family. Therefore, they have significant differences from each other. Felt cherry fruits on annual shoots. The formation of a crown in order to create the likeness of columnar trees will lead to the pruning of fruit-bearing branches, which means a complete loss of yield. Perhaps someday breeders will bring out a columnar cherry, but for now there are none. But this does not exclude the merits of existing varieties of felt cherries.

A height of 2-3 meters, lush flowering, an unusual arrangement of brightly colored crops - these are the properties thanks to which these bushes and trees deserve special love from designers and even received recommendations from specialists. Felt will please not only with its high decorativeness.

The branches are completely strewn with bright fruits with barely noticeable pubescence - villi, because of which this type of cherry was called felt

The main thing is juicy, tasty and very healthy berries, which they will gladly eat in any form. The fruits are universal, therefore candied fruits, in confiture, in jam, in pies, and just fresh they are magnificent.

The table shows the varieties of winter-hardy felt cherries, whose berries can be consumed fresh or in cooking. These varieties are best suited for growing in the suburbs.

In most cases, felt cherries are self-fertile, so a pollinator is required. This problem can be easily solved if two or more bushes are planted close to each other.In this case, it is not necessary to plant two plants of the same variety, the main thing is that the ripening dates coincide. So, in a pair of Atlanta with its excellent taste, you can plant the variety Belaya. This variety will contrast in color (it matches the name), complement the crop (it has a high yield) and surpass Atlanta in vitamin C.

The opinion of gardeners near Moscow

I have a plot in the Ruza district. This spring I planted Chocolates, Shubinka and Molodezhnaya from cherries this spring. I bought seedlings from the ACS at VDNH, in space. All took root and even gave small (up to 8 cm) growths. I plan to plant a bush of felt cherry next to them. I will cover all seedlings with spruce branches

I bought cherry “In memory of Yenikeyev” at VSTISP “Zagorye” in Biryulyovo, call the sales department, I think they will tell you about the sale this year. Cherries bear fruit in my garden: Vladimirovskaya, Muse, Pamyati Enikeeva, Volochaevka, Zagoryevskaya, Shokoladnitsa, Apukhtinskaya, Molodezhnaya. To taste (with a very good yield) I would single out Muse and Shokoladnitsa. Muse is an early variety, Shokoladnitsa is late, but we leave the birds half the crop. Tveretinovskaya I froze the next year after landing.
