Wild cherry, Mahaleb, Colt
Late June
This variety was developed in Germany and named after its breeder, Drogan. The distinguishing feature of this cherry is its smooth and very thin skin, which makes transportation challenging, as even slight pressure can leave marks or damage the skin. The tree starts bearing fruit four years after planting in open soil. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and processing, with its excellent jam-making qualities being particularly notable. Ideal for backyard planting as it does not require extensive protection.
The flesh has a very sweet flavor. Taste tests rate it 4.6 points. Average dry matter content is 18%, sugar up to 15%, and acids only 0.2%.
The fruits are slightly above average in size, weighing around 8 grams. They are round to heart-shaped, creating a bright and spectacular appearance. Unripe berries are pale yellow, maturing into a rich yellow color. The pulp is dense, fleshy, and very juicy, with a straw-yellow hue. Subtle veins run along the inner walls. Another characteristic is that the pit is very difficult to separate from the flesh.
Self-pollinating.
Good tolerance to drought and frost. Average immunity and disease resistance.
You can purchase seedlings of Cherry Drogan Yellow 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.
