Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil.
    • Plant in a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
    • Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the first few years to establish deep roots.
    • During the growing season, provide consistent moisture, especially as the fruit develops.
    • Avoid waterlogging, as cherries prefer well-drained conditions.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune annually in late winter to early spring, before new growth begins.
    • Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and thin out the canopy to improve air circulation and light penetration.
    • Shape the tree to maintain a strong, open structure that supports fruit production.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support growth and fruit development.
    • Additional feeding may be necessary during the growing season, particularly in poor soils.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Monitor for common pests such as aphids, cherry fruit flies, and Japanese beetles.
    • Use organic or chemical treatments as necessary to control infestations.
    • Protect the tree from fungal diseases like brown rot and leaf spot by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.
