A garter peg is placed next to it.
The root collar of Teremoshka sapling remains 5 cm above the soil.
The pit is covered with earth, tamped, made sides and watered.
A one-year-old seedling is cut at a height of 1 m for laying a crown. In 2-year-old seedlings, the growth is shortened by one third.

Testimonials

Andrey Vasilyevich Samburov, 53 years old, town. Vyritsa

The cottage is located in a quiet place. I decided to plant cherries, among them Teremoshka is the earliest for us. We have already harvested two crops. The tree is 7 years old, not tall, but the crown is abundant. Maybe it was the fertilizers that were put in the hole. A year later I feed it with humus, and in the fall I mulch horse droppings with humus. I still cover all the trees for the winter. There was frost damage to the kidneys, but rather minor. In the spring, cherries did not suffer from frosts, fumigation helped.

Alla Nikolaevna Babanina, 49 years old, town. Znamenka Oryol region

We have been growing the Teremoshka variety since 2010. Then a medium and late cherry orchard was laid. Teremoshka is not surprising with its yield, there are richer harvests. But it bears fruit regularly, the berries do not crack, they are well transported, they can be stored for some time. One of the most delicious varieties of excellent dessert type. We process the surplus harvest into compotes and confitures, which are also well sold. For the normal condition of trees, we systematically apply spraying.
