When is the best time to plant cherry seedlings?

Cherry seedlings should be planted in spring and autumn. The temperature in these two periods is relatively stable, generally around 15-16℃. The climate is more suitable for growth. Therefore, cherry seedlings are generally easier to grow if planted in early March or early October.

How to plant cherry seedlings

1. Geographical conditions

Cherries are very sensitive to water, so the planting area must have a certain amount of rainfall every year and the climate must be humid. The planting site must have sufficient light so that the cherry seedlings can grow better, because they like sunlight very much. When planting, the looser the soil is, the better the air permeability.

2.Tree root treatment

Before planting cherry seedlings, the seedlings should be cut flat, the root nodules removed, and then 30 catties/group (100g Yiwei + 100ml Fulian) should be diluted with water to effectively control root cancer. After killing the bacteria, you can plant.

3. Planting

Dig out the cherry seedlings without damaging the main roots, move the seedlings into the pits dug in advance, cover with soil, compact, irrigate fully, and then straighten them. Covering with film can retain water and keep warm, promote the root growth of the cherry seedlings, and facilitate the recovery of the seedlings.

4. Post-maintenance

The early care of cherry seedlings is very important, especially the early care. The next day after planting the seedlings, water them thoroughly. Make sure there is no water accumulation, and then keep it that way for a week. About one month after planting the seeds, use 1-1.5 kg of prebiotic water-soluble fertilizer and rinse with water. To make the seedlings grow better, you can spray foliar fertilizer once a week.

5. Plastic surgery

The shaping and pruning of cherries is an important measure to ensure their growth and fruiting. There are four main shapes of cherries: natural cluster shape, natural open-heart shape, scattered layered shape, and "Y" shape. Different shaping methods have different advantages, disadvantages and applicable conditions, and should generally be considered comprehensively based on factors such as variety characteristics, growth habits, and geographical environment.
