Overgrowth is one of the common problems in gardening.

In this article, we will tell you how you can deal with shoots from a cherry tree.

How to get rid of cherry blossoms

Cherries like infrequent, but abundant watering. With weak watering, only the upper part of the soil gets wet, in which shoots begin to form.

The root shoots of fruit trees definitely need to be destroyed.

Extra shoots of a tree take a lot of energy, weakening at the same time the immune system, that is, the ability to resist diseases

Cherry bush usually likes sunny locations, so providing shade can help dampen the growth.

To eliminate shoots, you can use fabric material or other means to create temporary shade over the area affected by the shoots.

This can slow down the growth of the shoots and give other plants the opportunity to fight for their territory.

The branches must be cut carefully, without leaving stumps.

Be sure to treat the cut area with garden varnish to prevent juice from leaking out. 

In addition, you can limit the germination of shoots by using sheets of slate or thick cardboard, burying them half a meter into the ground under the cherry tree.

This method slows down the development of cherry shoots.

Planting a shady tree nearby - linden, maple, chestnut - will also help solve the problem.
