Cherry "Revna" - description
This cultivar was created by the breeder of the All-Russian Research Institute in 1994, M.V. Kanshin. The name was given in honor of a small river, the tributary of the Desna, flowing in the Bryansk region.

Spring on the tree there are white inflorescences of four buds saucer-shaped. From the flowers in the second half of July, cherries of medium size develop. They reach a weight of 4.5-7.7 g. Berries are dark-red, broad-rounded. Under the dense skin there is a dark red dense pulp, very sweet, tasty. In the very core of the berry is an oval bone, which is easily separated from the tender flesh.
The advantages of "Revna" are:
- frost resistance;
- high commodity qualities of fruits;
- resistance to fungal diseases, burns.

Therefore, to get a good harvest near the tree, it is recommended to plant seedlings of such "Cherry" pollinators, like the varieties Veniaminova, Ovstuzhenka, Raditsa, Tyutchevka. Excellent varieties of pollinator for cherry "Revna" will become the "Iput" variety . And then from an adult tree you can
