Cherry growth environment conditions and characteristics

Cherry growth environment conditions and requirements

Cherries are a crop currently cultivated all over the world. The plant prefers a warm, humid, well-lit growing environment. Due to the plant's cold resistance, it is best not to plant it in areas experiencing low temperatures and cold waves in spring.

Cherry growth temperature

Cherries prefer a warm growing environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is 15-20℃. In winter, the temperature cannot be lower than minus 20 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it will cause the large branches of the trees to crack longitudinally.

Cherry growth humidity

Cherries require a relative soil humidity of around 60%-80%. The best soil is one that can be held in a ball by hand and falls apart when released. This kind of soil is most suitable for the growth of the plant.

Cherry growing soil

Cherries have shallow roots and are quite demanding on soil. They prefer neutral soil with a pH value between 6.5 and 7.5 being the best. The soil layer should be deep and have sufficient nutrients.

Cherry growth cycle and process

Cherries can be propagated by sowing. The rapid growth period lasts about 10-15 days, and then enters the hard core period. The core begins to lignify. During the second rapid growth period, the fruit begins to swell rapidly, and then the fruit can be harvested.
