Planting characteristics of cherry trees
Cherry is a light-loving tree species. China cherry is more shade-tolerant, but it has good illumination, early fruit ripening and good coloring. Cherry is suitable for cultivation in deep, fertile and loose sandy soil. The pH value of soil is generally between 6.0 and 7.5. It needs loose soil and good irrigation and drainage conditions. As cherries are not easy to transport, the garden should be built in a place with convenient transportation. Planting density varies according to varieties, rootstocks and soil conditions.
The density can be appropriately increased in the young age, and thinning measures should be taken after the garden is completed. Planting time is generally divided into autumn and spring. Planting should be carried out in cold, dry and windy areas of Yichun in winter and before seedling germination in spring. It can be planted in warm places in winter and autumn. Before planting, the soil should be deeply turned and cooked, and planting holes should be dug. Apply 25 to 50 kilograms of organic fertilizer to each hole. After mixing fertilizer with soil, plant seedlings and water the roots immediately.
