Variety characteristics

• In the period of fruiting, the tree enters 2 - 3 years after planting;
• the early blooming dates of cherry plum, in April, may coincide with strong winds that will interfere with pollinating insects, so it is best to plant the plant in a secluded place;
• mid-July ripening period. Harvesting may take until the end of the month;
• Found pleases with a regular and high yield. An adult tree bears 35 to 50 kg of fruit;
• characterized by non-shedding of ripe fruits from the tree for almost two weeks and high resistance of fruits to cracking;
• the variety is highly adaptable, easily adapts to growing conditions;
• during the winter period, the tree perfectly resists the complex of environmental influences;

Pollinators

Self-infertility forces another crop to be planted nearby. Good pollinators are the varieties Traveler, Nesmeyana, Vitba, Asaloda, Mara... If there is not enough space in the garden, then a pollinator branch can be grafted into the crown to Nayden.

Planting and leaving

For disembarkation, it is advisable to choose a sunny place, closed from the winds prevailing in winter. In lowlands, in order to avoid stagnant water in the roots, you can plant a tree on artificial hills. Subsoil waters should not flow closer than 1.2 - 1.5 meters to the surface.

Cherry plum does not need any special care. Timely watering and feeding is quite enough. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the start of sap flow. The procedure is especially necessary during the period of active growth, which occurs in the first 10 years.

Gardeners highly appreciate Naydena, thanks to its unpretentiousness, early maturity, disease resistance, yield and fruit taste. The disadvantage is self-infertility. No other disadvantages have been identified.
