Cherry trees can be planted both in autumn and spring.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , both options are used equally often in gardening.

The main thing is to adhere to the permissible planting dates.

In autumn, the favorable time for planting cherries is September and the first half of October.

However, if for some reason the procedure had to be postponed, the seedlings should be dug in by digging a hole and laying the tree at an angle.

The roots need to be covered with soil and watered. Place pine or spruce branches on top. You can form a layer of sawdust.

With such protection, winter frosts will not be a problem for young trees, and they will survive until spring without any losses.

In spring, you can plant seedlings until the first ten days of April, that is, when the buds formed on the trees have not yet begun to blossom.
