White Cherry, Domestic White Cherry, Early White Cherry
Balkans, Central Europe
Wild cherry, mahaleb, Colt
End of May, beginning of June
The Domestic White Cherry is an indigenous variety originating from the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe, cultivated for centuries in traditional orchards. It developed through natural selection of local wild cherry populations, adapted to the climate and soil of the region. It is most often used for fresh consumption due to its juicy and sweet fruits. Additionally, the fruits are suitable for processing – making compotes, jams, juices, as well as for producing brandy or liqueurs.
Sweet, juicy, and aromatic, with a mild tart note that enhances the natural freshness of the cherry.
The fruit of the Domestic White Cherry is medium to large, weighing 5–7 grams, round to slightly heart-shaped. The skin is light, almost white to pale pink, thin but firm, while the flesh is juicy, firm, and aromatic, light-colored with a slight golden hue near the stone. The pit is small and easily separable from the flesh.
Kordia, Lapins.
The Domestic White Cherry is moderately resistant to frost and drought, relatively resistant to pests and diseases, but sensitive to late spring frosts that can damage the flowers.
You can purchase seedlings of Domestic White Cherry at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
