Cherry Bereket: reviews of gardeners

• Anastasia Igorevna, Perm region: “I liked that Bereket cherries ripen early. However, you should know that cherries begin to bear fruit from the fourth to fifth year after planting in a garden plot. The yield of Bereket cherries is decent, in comparison with many other varieties grown in my garden. But the most important dignity of Bereket cherry for me is its frost resistance, the variety survived during frosts.I advise everyone to try to grow this variety on their own. "

• Svetlana Viktorovna, Sverdlovsk region: “That year, when Bereket's cherries were planted, it was a very dry summer. And the cultivar coped well with the drought. Of course, it is still necessary to water the variety, since long-term dry times can negatively affect the state of the Bereket cherry. Also, the variety blooms very beautifully, and the durability of the opened flowers at the Bereket cherry in the spring is above average. "
