Process for forming cherry trees in the shape of a slender spindle

Abstract

The procedure for training improved thin spindle-shaped cherry trees includes pruning the trees in spring in the first year after planting at 100-110 cm from the ground; when the shoot length of 20-30 cm is reached, 5-6 developed lateral shoots are chosen for the formation of the semischelet branch zone and one vertical shoot for the central axis, in the second spring the extension branch of the central axis is cut at 100-110 cm above the base of the last semischelet branch, when the shoots on the axis reach a length of 3-5 cm, they are weeded at 80-90 cm above the last semischelet branch, further on the axis, fruiting and semischelet branches are formed, which are periodically substituted. The technical result of the invention is an improvement in the lighting conditions, which ensures an increase in the size and quality of the fruit and the creation of optimum conditions for the care of the trees.
