Reference. VNIIS - It is a technological organization dedicated to the study of scientific trends in horticulture.
Dessert Morozova, Morozovka and Uralskaya Rubinovaya were also born at this institute.
The main focus: the sorting of fruit trees and the selection of new plant forms, disease resistance and ecology, the cultivation and reproduction of cuttings for planting, mechanization, technological methods of growing adult trees, proper storage of fruits.
The institute applies the modeling and production of environmentally friendly products. In the study of varieties is the automation of processes. The organization implements innovative projects of different directions.
University developments have gained wide popularity among professionals and amateur gardeners.
Latin name: Cerasus. Grade author: Т.В. Morozov.
The tree was obtained in 1990 from the bones of the cherry variety Vladimirskaya. In the growth stage, the seed was treated with a solution of mutagen EC.

Planting and care
- Landing place
The pruning of the tree is done similarly with the usual Turgenevka and Zhukovskaya cherries. Pruning is done before the appearance of the kidneys. It is necessary to leave 5 or 6 developed branches.
The distance between them should be at least 10 centimeters. The rest is removed without leaving hemp. The wounds of the tree are immediately covered with garden pitch.
For planting cuttings should be chosen place with excellent passage of sunlight. Landing is made from the south side of the buildings. It is best to plant along the fence, where there is the softest microclimate.
The selected site should be with the possibility of accumulation of a large amount of snow in winter. Snow protects the plant and does not allow it to freeze in the winter period of time. Loves loamy soil.
- Preparing for landing
Excellent response to bait and rich in vitamins land. It is better to choose the soil with a remarkable breathability.Landing site should not be close to water.. It is necessary to drain the soil.
When buying a ready seedling, its root system must be wrapped in moss or peat and carefully wrapped in plastic transport film.
Seedlings must be grafted and have a developed root system. Elevated part of the stalk need to cut to 55-70 centimetersthat allows you to properly form a plant on the plot.
- Reproduction by budding

Budding spend in the second decade of July. Time: 14-21 days. 6-8 days before grafting, the bark of the tree is watered with warm or room temperature water. Such a procedure stimulates sap flow. The bark should be well separated.
Before budding, all shoots and leaves in the vaccination area must be removed. The scape is chosen long, reaching 6-8 millimeters. All fruit buds on such growths are vegetative.
- Graft
On the rootstock, make a cut of the bark of a tree, 3 centimeters long, and in the middle - a small transverse incision.In this procedure, the tip disappears, and a graft is inserted into the lower part.
According to its width, it should coincide with the cut made. Vaccination site tied with plastic wrap. The kidney is left open. After 14-21 days you need to check the survival of the eyes.
When pressed lightly, the leaf stalk should separate. This means that the kidney has successfully settled down. After 30 days, the harness is removed. In winter time, the place of budding is protected from frost. In early spring, the adherent patches should have a smooth surface with a smooth bud.
Excellent response to bait and rich in vitamins land. It is better to choose the soil with a remarkable breathability.
