Cherries and cherries
There are a lot of cherry varieties. Choosing a culture for a garden, amateurs try to combine in their choice both practical characteristics, and taste, and external attractiveness of berries.

A rare summer resident of central Russia does not try to plant at least one cherry tree on his site, even knowing that this culture is very whimsical and capricious. When it is possible to harvest a crop, it is said about the skill of the owner, and if the berries have not been waited for, then they usually appeal to the fact that the role of cherries was reduced solely to pollination of cherries growing nearby.
Cherry has been cultivated by man since time immemorial. According to historians, this tree was cultivated as early as the 5th century BC - the aromatic cherry fruits were used to make syrup. For several centuries, mankind has accumulated rich experience in plant breeding and achieved the appearance of varieties that delight with stable yields and useful properties. One example is Lyubskaya cherry.
There are many varieties of cherries: dark to black and bright red, small sweet and sour juicy, aromatic and tart. Differences also affected the shape of the berries: spherical, flattened, heart-shaped. The latter are special, like the Turgenevka cherry, whose berries resemble a heart. The variety was named by Oryol breeders either in honor of the Turgenev girls, or in memory of Turgenev's great love, or in honor of the greatest writer who was born on the Oryol land.
Cherry is one of the favorite fruit and berry crops of summer residents. In the spring, during its short flowering period, it gives us a delightful sight. Its fruits are widely used in cooking.
