Why are there few cherries?

The reason why cherries have few fruits

The reason why cherries produce too few fruits may be improper management. When the cherries are growing, the branches and leaves grow too vigorously, but no flower buds grow, which affects the fruiting.

Secondly, it may be the influence of pests and diseases, or insufficient water and fertilizer, which leads to too little nutrients for the plant, difficulty in the development of flower buds, or falling flowers and fruits. If there is continuous rainy weather or low temperatures during the flowering period, pollination will be poor and the fruit will be few.

What to do if the cherry fruit is too few?

prune

Pruning the tree is very important. First of all, pruning and pinching can promote the growth of more side branches of the cherry tree, so that more fruits can be produced. Secondly, if you prune too many or too dense branches, the ventilation and light conditions inside the cherry branches will be better, which is conducive to growth and flowering and fruiting.

Preserve flowers and fruits

For cherries, it is very important to protect flowers and fruits during the flowering period. Spray Zhuangdiling before flowering and during the young fruit stage. The second thing is to thin out the flowers and fruits reasonably, cut off the excess flower buds, and also cut off the deformed fruits. In this way, the quality of the fruit can be improved.

Reasonable harvesting

In fact, harvesting is also very important for cherries, because they must be harvested in batches to ensure the maximum yield.

Post-harvest management

After the cherries are harvested, it is time to prepare for the next year's growth. First of all, top dressing should be applied in time after flowering to supplement nutrients. Some base fertilizer should be applied in autumn to strengthen nutrition, allow it to safely overwinter, and promote plant recovery. This way, the cherries can be prepared for their second year of growth.
