Cherry variety 'Priusadibna' — an early-ripening variety developed in Melitopol, Ukraine. The tree is medium-sized, reaching about 5 meters in height, with a spreading, moderately dense, round crown. It begins fruiting on the 4th-5th year of life, showing regular and high yields. The variety is quite winter-hardy and drought-resistant, with high frost tolerance and resistance to moniliosis, as well as weak susceptibility to bacterial canker of stone fruits. When planting, choose sunny, open areas with fertile, well-drained soils and ensure regular watering. The 'Priusadibna' cherry fruits are large, weighing 7-8 grams, with a rounded-heart shape and a wide, clearly defined groove. The color is light-yellow with a beautiful light-red or dark-pink blush, which may cover most of the fruit surface. The flesh is creamy, tender, juicy, with a pleasant refreshing acidity making up about 96% of the fruit's weight. The taste is sweet and harmonious, confirmed by a high sensory evaluation — 4.8 out of 5. The fruits have moderate transportability, making them suitable for both fresh consumption and culinary purposes. The 'Priusadibna' variety is self-sterile, so for successful pollination, it is recommended to plant compatible pollinators such as 'Skorospelekha', 'Valeriy Chkalov', and 'Bigaro Burlat'. Due to its compact and neat crown, this variety is ideal for home gardens and small orchards. The seedlings adapt easily to various climatic conditions, making them an attractive choice for gardeners seeking an early and high-quality cherry harvest.
