Can cherry blossoms be transplanted in autumn?

Cherry blossoms can be transplanted in autumn, but the best time to transplant is in spring, usually between February and March, because the temperature at this time is around 8 to 19°C, and there is sufficient scattered light, which makes its survival rate relatively high.

How to transplant cherry blossoms in autumn

1. When transplanting cherry blossoms, you need to evenly spread a layer of coarse sand and gravel at the bottom of the soil. You can add a small amount of organic fertilizer, then trim it, cut off the withered and rotten branches and leaves and roots together, then apply white fungus net to the wound, and place it in a dark and cool place to wait for it to dry.

2. When transplanting cherry blossoms, first dig a hole about 15 to 30 cm, insert it vertically into the hole, and then cover it with a layer of fine sand about 2 to 3 cm thick. Be sure to water it in time to ensure that its roots can be closely integrated with the soil so that it can adapt to the new environment faster.

Things to note when transplanting cherry blossoms

1. After transplanting the cherry blossoms, lightly compact the soil so that its roots are firmly fixed in the soil. Then water it again to keep the soil slightly moist. You can also cover the surface of the soil with a layer of straw to keep it warm.

2. Cherry blossoms like to grow in a warm and humid environment, but they are not tolerant to waterlogging. When transplanting, you should pay attention to choosing an environment with good lighting and convenient drainage, which will be conducive to the vigorous growth of cherry blossoms.
