Types of branching and accretion of cherry cultivars of Belarusian breeding

The article presents the results of the researches on types of branching and accretion of cherry cultivars of the Belarusian breeding such as Vyanok, Griot Belorusski and Zaranka. The research was made in 2014 on trees of a 2005 planting year with the crowns formed on thinned and storeyed system. As a result of the made researches there was established the degree of apical domination which is shown less at trees of cherry cultivars Vyanok and Zaranka. The mesotonic branching type is typical for the cultivars Griot Belorusski and Zaranka as the side branchings located on skeletal branches of the first order are distributed practically evenly on their length. The branching type at trees of cherry cultivar Vyanok is closer to acrotonic one as on the average 55 % of the side branchings settle down in the top third of the skeletal branches.
