Many people don't like cherries simply because the berries grow sour.
Such fruits are not always suitable for compotes or jam, you have to add more sugar, and this is an additional expense and not everyone will like it.
There is another option that will help you collect a large harvest of large and juicy berries.
Cherry will grow sweet and fragrant, and you won't have to put in much effort. It's enough to know how and what to properly feed a fruit tree on your plot.
In the situation with feeding, everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance.
What kind of fertilizers does a cherry tree need?
Cherry will not grow well and bear fruit if the soil on the site is acidic. This problem can be fixed in a simple way by adding dolomite flour so that the soil becomes neutral.
During the flowering period, nitrogen fertilizers are applied; during the fruiting period, the cherry tree needs potassium and phosphorus.
Phosphorus-potassium preparations are added so that the berries fill with juice and become sugary, and their quantity increases several times.
Cherry tree care
Cherry does not like to be crowded near a fence - it needs space.
It is necessary to periodically prune the branches, but this should be done before the buds appear. March is the best month to carry out such a procedure.
