Choosing a landing site
The area where you plan to plant a cherry tree should be protected from drafts and moderately lit. Cherries can grow on non-fertile soils, but they cannot stand waterlogging, acidic or salty soil.
Landing
Cherries are planted in autumn or spring. Planting is carried out in October-November or April, depending on the region. If the winters are too cold, the fragile seedling may freeze. A hole is dug before planting, the size is 60x60 centimeters.
A drainage layer is applied to the bottom of a deep and wide pit, and then fertile soil.It is poured into 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 when planting it has moist roots.
Then the pit is covered with soil, the soil is slightly compacted, trampled underfoot, and watered.
Care
Take care of cherries it is not difficult, even a novice gardener can do it.
Watering
Cherry trees are drought tolerant, but flowering plantings should not suffer from a lack of moisture. This leads to crop loss. Water the cherry in case of strong drying out of the trunk 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 is watered in September-October.
Pruning
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 removes unnecessary stress.
Reproduction
Cuttings, grafting or propagation by shoots are used. Cherries can be grown from seed, but this is a laborious process, and the grown seedlings are usually much worse than the mother tree in terms of yield and other qualities.
The easiest way to propagate cherries is by overgrowth. The roots of the young shoot are cut off from the roots of the mother plant, and it is moved to the right place.
Cuttings are usually used in nurseries. One-year woody shoots are cut off. They are cut into cuttings with 4-5 buds. The lower leaves are removed, leaving only the upper 2. The lower cut is treated with Kornevin. The cuttings are planted in prepared soil and covered with foil. It is regularly removed to ventilate, and plantings are watered.
