Alexandria

The Alexandria cherry is a dessert variety of medium maturity, characterized by large, round fruits weighing approximately 13-14 grams. The berries have a rich red color with blurred stripes and numerous small white subcutaneous dots. The fruit skin is tender and smooth, peels off easily, and the flesh is red, juicy, and slightly fibrous with a mild sweet-sour taste. The stone separates well from the flesh, making the variety convenient for fresh consumption and culinary experiments.

The Alexandria cherry tree is characterized by medium height and an oval crown of medium density. It is fast-growing and exhibits high resistance to diseases and pests, reducing the need for intensive protection. The variety is distinguished by high yield and winter hardiness, although berries may tend to crack after heavy rains. Late flowering, approximately a week later than the Varvara variety, helps avoid damage from spring frosts.

Alexandria cherries are well-suited for sale due to their transportability and long maturation period. Fruits maintain an attractive appearance and taste qualities during transport. Seedlings of this variety are available in specialized nurseries, grown on the Logri rootstock, and sold with a closed root system, which facilitates planting and care. Free consultations on selection, planting, and care for trees are provided, making the variety convenient for cultivation in both commercial orchards and private estates.
