A medium-tall tree (2.5–3.0 m) with a globe-shaped crown, a seedling of the ‘Shirpotreb chernogo’ variety, entered in the Russian State Register in 2001. The fruit is medium-sized (3.2 g on average), round-flattened and dark red, with red, moderately firm flesh and pink juice. The flavour is sweet-sour, with a tasting score of 3.9. The small stone (0.26 g) separates well from the flesh.

Its main strengths are self-fertility and a high yield of 10–12 kg per tree, with first cropping in the 3rd–4th year. The tree resists winter frost well, but the shoots and flower buds are moderately sensitive. It is resistant to shothole disease and moderately resistant to brown rot (moniliosis). Both fruit size and flavour are average – this is a typical utility, undemanding variety.

A medium-vigour tree with a broad, spreading, globe-shaped crown, bred from treated seed of the ‘Vladimirskaya’ sour cherry and in the State Register since 1997. It fruits mainly on one-year-old wood. The fruit is large (4.6–5.0 g), round, red to dark red, with soft, fine and juicy flesh. The flavour is dessert-quality, very sweet with low acidity – a tasting score of 4.6.

It ripens very early, already in the second decade of June. It is partly self-fertile; suitable pollinators are ‘Griot Ostgeimsky’, ‘Griot Rossoshansky’, ‘Vladimirskaya’ and ‘Studencheskaya’. It stands out for high hardiness, early cropping and regular yields. Note: if pruning is neglected the branches go bare, and under poorer conditions its resistance to shothole disease drops.

One of the newest and best Belarusian varieties (in the State Register since 2021), bred by crossing ‘Griot Seridko’ and ‘Prizyv’. The tree is weak-growing but fast to develop, with a globe-shaped crown. The fruit is medium-sized (4.5 g), round, deep dark red, with fine juicy flesh and deep red juice. The flavour is pleasant, sour-sweet, with a very high tasting score of 4.8.

Yield is high – up to 31.5 kg per tree – with first cropping as early as the 3rd year. It excels in high resistance to shothole disease and brown rot, high hardiness and good transportability. It needs a sunny site and lighter, fertile soils. Its only drawback is partial self-fertility – for a full crop it needs a pollinator.

A medium-vigour tree with a rounded-oval crown and slightly drooping branches, bred by crossing ‘Zhukovskaya’ and ‘Korinka’, in the State Register since 2001. The fruit is large (4.6–4.7 g), broadly heart-shaped, dark red, with dark red, moderately firm and juicy flesh. The flavour is dessert-quality, sweet with a pleasant acidity – a very high tasting score of 4.8. The stone is larger (0.35 g) but separates well.

It ripens early to mid-early, at the end of June, evenly. It is self-fertile, but for a higher yield a pollinator such as ‘Griot Belorussky’ is recommended. Yield is high (8–10 kg per tree) and cropping starts early. Its weaker points are moderate hardiness and moderate disease resistance.

A Russian variety prized for its high yield and quality fruit, a complex hybrid (‘Zhukovskaya’ × ‘Zarja Povolzhja’) × ‘Zolushka’, in the State Register since 2003/2006. The tree is medium-vigour and lower-growing (up to 2.5 m), with a globe-shaped drooping crown. The fruit is large (3.9–4.0 g), oval, dark red, with dark red, moderately firm and rather drier flesh of a sweet-sour, excellent flavour. The stone separates well.

It comes into cropping in the 4th year; yield is high (113.4 q/ha on average, 203.4 q/ha at maximum). It flowers in mid-May and ripens in the second half of July. It is partly self-fertile; suitable pollinators are ‘Zhukovskaya’ and ‘Vladimirskaya’. Both hardiness and disease resistance are moderate.

A medium-vigour tree (2.5–3 m) with an inverted-pyramidal crown, a cross of ‘Zhukovskaya’ and ‘Shirpotreb chernaya’, accepted for state trials in 1977. The fruit is medium-sized (4–5 g), round, dark maroon to almost black, with juicy dark flesh. The flavour is very good, sweet with a pleasant acidity. The small round stone separates well, and the fruit picks with a dry stem scar.

It ripens in mid-July; yield is high (15–16 kg per tree, peaking in the 7th–10th year). It excels in high hardiness including the flower buds, and good transportability. It is self-sterile – it needs a pollinator such as ‘Zhukovskaya’ or ‘Turgenevka’. It requires well-drained soil and does not tolerate a high water table.
