How to care for cherries in the first year after planting

In the first years, plants really need nitrogen for rapid growth and crown formation.

Therefore, start with nitrogen fertilizing. Feed the cherry trees for the first time at the end of April - as soon as the snow melts.

For feeding, use a urea solution (25 g per 10 liters of water for each seedling).

How to water a cherry tree

Cherry requires, although not abundant, regular watering, since it is a moisture-loving plant.

For rapid growth and development, the tree is watered in the spring - after wintering and before fruiting.

If the summer is dry, watering should be increased, but not more than once a week.
