How to increase cherry yield by 3 times: tips from experienced gardeners
Planting a cherry tree is not a difficult task. Even a novice gardener can cope with this task.
But not everyone can grow a good harvest. Only those summer residents who do not forget about the nuances of growing cherries collect buckets of berries.
You can increase your cherry yield by following a few simple steps.
1. Provide enough sunlight and heat. Cherry prefers a warm and sunny climate, so it is necessary to provide it with enough light and heat during the day.
2. Fertilize the soil. Cherry needs nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. You can use organic fertilizers such as compost or humus, or mineral fertilizers, which can be purchased at specialized stores.
3. Spray against diseases and pests. Cherry can be exposed to diseases and pests that can reduce the yield. It is necessary to regularly spray the cherry with special preparations against diseases and insect pests.
4. Trim and shape the crown. Cherry trees tend to grow too big, which can lead to a decrease in yield. It is necessary to trim excess branches and shape the crown so that the tree can develop and bear fruit better.
5. Water regularly. Cherry needs moisture, especially during the flowering and fruiting period. Regular watering will help retain moisture in the soil and provide enough water for the growth and development of the plant.
6. Tie up the branches. Cherry trees tend to fall under the weight of their fruit. It is necessary to tie up the branches so that they do not break the branches and do not hinder the growth and development of the tree.
7. Harvest regularly. Cherry trees bear fruit once a year. Harvesting helps the tree recover and prepare for the next fruiting season.
