One mandatory feeding of cherries in spring: the berries will be sweet and large
Cherry is one of the most popular fruit trees that summer residents plant on their plots.
But in order to harvest berries by the bucketful, you need to apply fertilizer to the plant on time.
Experienced gardeners note that before the buds open, the cherry can be sprayed with a nitrogen solution. Ammonia products are best. On acidic soils, it is better to choose calcium nitrate.
The dosage depends on the age of the cherry. If the tree is up to 4 years old, then 15 grams of the product per square meter will be enough. If the plant is older than 5 years, then you need to take 20 grams.
It is also important to take into account that foliar feeding will never replace the application of fertilizers under the root.
First, you need to moisten the soil, and then you can slightly loosen the soil and add fertilizer to the tree trunk circle.
Nitrogen is applied superficially.
As for potassium and phosphorus, which affect fruiting, as well as the taste and size of the berries, they should be buried in granulated form to a depth of 10 cm. In this case, you need to act very carefully so as not to damage the roots.
