It is consumed with pleasure in frozen form, in addition, everyone loves compotes and jams. The "jealous" sweet cherry has wide-round fruits of a dark red color that grow on trees of medium height and a pyramidal crown.

The first fruits can be obtained four years after planting.
Sweet cherry “jealous” - this is the average largest berry, weighing from five to seven and a half grams, with a white dot on the top. This creates a very attractive effect on a dark red, almost black fruit with dense flesh growing on an average stem length. The stone is small and can be easily separated. The purpose of the variety is universal, safety during transportation is excellent. For gardeners, it is very important that the “jealous” cherries, in addition to the high quality of the fruits, have amazing resistance to diseases, as well as excellent winter hardiness, in which all flower buds are preserved. True, with self-pollination, no more than five percent of the flowers can be tied. Cherry "Bryansk pink", as well as "iput" or "raditsa" are well suited as pollinators.
The growing popularity of this culture is also due to the fact that in most regions where cherry is grown, in recent years, fungal infection of coccomycosis has been rampant. The disease weakens and destroys mainly cherry plantations, while “jealous” cherries and similar varieties are not susceptible to disease. She keeps the leaves until their natural fall, thus accumulating a sufficient amount of nutrients that give her the power to winter. Therefore, sweet cherry seedlings are actively planted in areas of horticulture, which until now were considered unsuitable for this southern culture.
This is facilitated by the high winter-hardiness of the varieties bred in recent years. The best of them are recognized as “Bryansk pink” and “jealous”. In addition, they are more productive in yield than cherries, an average of 70%. This was shown by six years of research by breeders. Thus, “jealous” cherries become the most cost-effective and widespread variety, especially in the northern areas of horticulture.
