Will the Fatezh cherry grow in the Moscow region, a description of the photo variety, can you find out its reviews? Most of all, the taste of the fruit and the degree of frost resistance are of interest, as well as how many years you need to wait for the first harvest. I bought seedlings in the spring, I got one of this variety, took root, but this year it did not bloom, it is still young. I'm worried about how he will endure his first winter, because it can be quite cold here.

Long gone are the days when cherries grew only in the warm south of our country. It was domestic breeders who managed to create one of the best hybrids with increased frost resistance, but at the same time preserve the sweetness and large size of the fruits. We are talking about such a species as Fatezh cherry - a description of the variety, photos, reviews about it only confirm the advantages and characteristics of the culture. This cherry was bred specifically for cultivation in the central and north-western regions with a cold climate. The variety has successfully passed all tests, at the moment it is zoned and has been in the State Register for almost 20 years.

Cherry Fatezh - description of the variety, photos, reviews of gardeners

Gardeners really liked the low, on average about 3 m in height, cherry trees. And thanks to the spreading rounded crown, it is convenient to harvest, despite the fact that it is quite dense. But with age, cherry branches do not strive upward, but tend to the ground, as if bringing their gifts to man.

A characteristic feature of the hybrid, which gave it such popularity, is its increased frost resistance. Even frosts up to 30 ° C will not destroy the tree, but the buds can freeze from recurrent frosts. However, according to the reviews of summer residents, for a couple of seasons, cherries are restored if you take good care of them.

In addition, Fatezh will please with good drought resistance, and also immunity to most diseases of the culture. The only problem, which, again, according to gardeners' reviews, can occur often, is gum therapy.

The cherry variety Fatezh will not bear fruit without pollination. The best pollinators for him are the Iput cherries, Jealous, Bryansk.

Flavor characteristics and ripening times

The early ripening cherry of Fatezh cannot be called. She will bring the first harvest only in the fifth or even sixth year after planting. But the berries themselves ripen early - at the end of June. They are large, rounded-flattened, with a dense skin. The flesh of the berries is also dense, but juicy, very tasty, with a slight sourness. The main color is yellow, but the ripe berries are almost completely covered with a red blush. The variety is considered universal: cherries can be eaten or canned.

The yield of the hybrid is also at the highest level. One adult sweet cherry can produce almost 50 kg of berries, each weighing at least 4 g.

Pros and cons of the variety

The advantages of a domestic hybrid are obvious:

• frost resistance;
• drought resistance;
• immunity to disease;
• high productivity;
• good transportability of berries due to their dense texture;
• great taste;
• small size of the tree, which facilitates the harvesting process.

As for the shortcomings, the Fatezh cherry has only two of them. This is the need to plant a number of pollinators and the lack of resistance to gum flow. Otherwise, the variety has no competitors, especially among the climate of the central zone.
