Cherry is a delicious berry that you can grow right in your garden. In the article, you will learn how to do this and what points are important to consider.
Care
Sweet cherry seedlings can be planted both in autumn and in spring. In the south, they can be planted in autumn: the plants will have the opportunity to get stronger before the cold weather, they will not be threatened by the high temperatures of early spring. In mid-latitudes, it is better to plant cherries in the spring. The soil should not be too clayey or deeply sandy.
Soil and light
Cherries are planted in a sunny and well-protected place from the wind. The soil should be fertile, loose and moisture permeable. For example, loamy or sandy loamy soil is suitable, but heavy clayey, peaty and deep sandy soils are unsuitable.
Fertilizer
After the cherry begins to produce berries, you need to give the plants nitrogen nutrition with natural organic matter every spring, and feed them with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers in the fall. In the spring, under hilling, two glasses of crushed eggshells are added to form stones in the fruits.
