DESCRIPTION

Vega - this variety bears fruit abundantly. The fruits are very large, and are a wide heart shape. The skin is light yellow, with almost the entire surface covered with an intense carmine blush. The flesh could be described as juicy, moderately firm, with a unique taste.

ADVICES

The tree is best planted in a sunny, slightly airy position. It prefers a sandy/clay soil which is moderately moist, and fertile. The optimum pH is in the range of 6.5-7.0.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem, 20 cm above where the planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the cherry tree is annually in the spring. This variety is disease resistant. Vega pollination requires the presence of other varieties flowering at the same time. Best results can be achieved by planting with varieties Karesova and Buttnera Czerwona.
