Cherry yield will increase significantly if you feed it with a certain fertilizer in the spring.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what kind of feeding a cherry tree needs in the spring.
The first spring feeding of the cherry tree should be nitrogenous.
This type of fertilizer is applied before the buds open; nitrogen helps them awaken.
Any nitrogen fertilizers will do, but it is better to use ammonia ones.
The dosage depends on the age of the tree. Up to 4 years – 15 grams of ammonium nitrate per square meter, from the 5th year of life – 20 g per square meter.
On acidic soils it is better to use calcium nitrate, it slightly alkalizes the soil.
