Zodiac

Cherries of the "Zodiac" variety are a tall tree with a medium-dense spherical crown, reaching a height of 3-5 meters. This variety is characterized by moderate fruiting: the first harvest appears on the third to fourth year after planting. Successful fruiting requires the presence of pollinators. The tree is highly frost-resistant, able to withstand temperatures down to -30°C, and also exhibits good drought resistance and immunity to fungal diseases, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. The "Zodiac" cherry fruits are large, weighing 7 to 10 grams, with a characteristic heart-shaped form and dark ruby-colored skin that is firm, elastic, and smooth. The flesh is dark red, juicy, and succulent, with a pleasant sour-sweet flavor and a slight plum aroma. Due to its firm skin, the fruits withstand transportation well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month, preserving their freshness and flavor. The "Zodiac" variety is characterized by high yield, exceeding average indicators, and is table-type, intended for fresh consumption. The berries are rich in vitamins and minerals, making them a beneficial dietary product. Due to the combination of excellent taste qualities, resistance to adverse conditions, and good transportability, "Zodiac" cherries are popular among gardeners and consumers.
