PRITCHUDA

PRITCHUDA is a unique hybrid of cherry and cherry plum, combining the best qualities of both cultures. It is a medium-sized tree reaching up to 3 meters in height, with a wide-oval crown and sturdy gray-brown shoots. It is distinguished by high frost resistance and good disease resistance, ensuring stable annual fruiting. Flowering begins in early May when the branches are covered with large white buds, and the fruits begin to ripen in the last decade of June.

PRITCHUDA fruits are large, weighing from 8 to 15 grams, with a rich dark red skin and light flesh with veins. The berries have a sweet taste with light cherry notes and a pronounced aroma, while the stone is small and easily separated. The fruit juice has a red or dark-red color. Due to its taste qualities, which received a high tasting evaluation, this variety is excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for making jams, compotes, baked goods, and other types of canning.

The tree begins to bear fruit already in the 3-4th year after planting, making it attractive for both home gardeners and industrial cultivation. PRITCHUDA requires pollination by other cherry or cherry plum varieties as it is self-sterile. High yield and early ripening make this variety in-demand and easy to grow, while its frost resistance and resistance to fungal diseases ensure reliability and quality of the harvest.
