It is believed that the period from late March to early May is the most suitable for planting these trees.
Where is the best place to plant cherries on the site
You can plant it near the southern wall of the house or gazebo.
The plant does not tolerate flooding by melt and rain water.
You cannot plant it in an area with close groundwater.
In lowlands, plant cherry trees on artificial hills with a height and diameter of 70–90 cm.
How to care for cherries in the first year after planting
In the first years, plants really need nitrogen for rapid growth and crown formation.
Therefore, start with nitrogen fertilizing. Feed the cherry trees for the first time at the end of April - as soon as the snow melts.
For feeding, use a urea solution (25 g per 10 liters of water for each seedling).
How to water a cherry tree
Cherry requires, although not abundant, regular watering, since it is a moisture-loving plant.
For rapid growth and development, the tree is watered in the spring - after wintering and before fruiting.
If the summer is dry, watering should be increased, but not more than once a week.
