applying complex fertilizers for fruit trees once a year;
pest protection - if necessary, it is sprayed 2 times a season.

Choosing a landing site

The area where you plan to plant a cherry tree should be protected from drafts and moderately lit. Cherry can grow on infertile soils, but does not tolerate waterlogging, acidic or s alty soil.

Landing

Cherries are planted in autumn or spring. Landing is carried out in October-November or in April, depending on the region. If winters are too cold, a fragile seedling may freeze. The hole is dug before planting, size 60x60 centimeters.

A layer of drainage is introduced at the bottom of a deep and wide pit, and then fertile soil. It is poured in a slide, on top of which a seedling is placed and the roots are carefully straightened.

Important: before planting, the tree is placed in water for 5-6 hours so that it has wet roots when planting.

Then the pit is covered with soil, the soil is slightly compacted, trampling down with a foot, and watered.

Care

Caring for cherries is easy, even a novice gardener can do it.

Irrigation

Cherry trees are drought tolerant, but flowering plantings should not suffer from lack of moisture. This leads to crop loss. Cherries are watered in case of strong drying of the near-stem circle. Water the second time when the ovary appears. The third watering is carried out in case of severe drought, when the berries ripen. And the last time watered in September-October.

Cutting

Young trees (up to 10 years old) are not pruned. In adult cherries, dry branches and excess shoots are removed. This rejuvenates the tree and relieves unnecessary stress.

Reproduction

Apply cuttings, grafting or propagation by shoots. Cherries can be grown from the seed, but this is a labor intensive process, and grown seedlings are usually significantly inferior to the mother tree in terms of yield and other qualities.

The easiest way to propagate cherries is by shoots. The roots of the young shoot are cut off from the roots of the mother plant, and it moves to the right place.

Cuttings are commonly used in nurseries. Cut off annual stiff shoots. They are cut into cuttings with 4-5 buds. The lower leaves are removed, leaving only the top 2. The lower cut is treated with Kornevin. The cuttings are planted in the prepared soil and covered with a film. It is regularly removed to ventilate, and plantings are watered.
