Hunan cherry tree planting technology

1. Soil

Cherries have relatively high requirements for soil because their roots need a lot of oxygen. The soil must be fertile, loose and deep. It is best to use sandy soil for planting. The pH value of the soil should be between 6.0-7.5.

2. Fertilization

Cherries like fertilizer but are afraid of concentrated fertilizer. Usually, you can apply diluted water-soluble fertilizer once every half a month. After entering the fruiting period, use urea once. Apply phosphorus fertilizer after flowering. Pay attention to keeping the maintenance environment ventilated and breathable.

3. Watering

Cherries are relatively sensitive to water and have poor drought resistance. The best soil moisture level is around 70%. Watering is required frequently, about once every 5 days.
