3. Ensure good drainage: Cherry trees don’t like wet feet, so make sure the soil drains well. If your soil is heavy or has poor drainage, consider making a raised bed for your cherry tree.
4. Water regularly: Keep the soil around your cherry tree evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Water the tree deeply to help the roots grow and develop.
5. Protect against pests and diseases: Keep your cherry tree healthy by regularly checking for pests and diseases, such as aphids, fruit flies and cherry disease. If necessary, use organic pesticides to address problems.
With proper care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of juicy, sweet cherries from your own garden.
