At the end of the season, it is necessary not only to carry out important activities, but also to analyze the season's harvest.
In this case, it will be possible to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the chosen methods.
For example, if the cherry tree produced a very meager harvest, then it is worth establishing the reasons.
What do they consist of?
Frosts
Many people are surprised by the fact that cherry trees cope well with cold weather in winter, but spring frosts have a negative effect on them.
As it turns out, cherries become incredibly vulnerable during the flowering process. Therefore, even a few days of bad weather will be enough to reduce the yield.
Insects
Do not forget to carry out preventive treatment of cherries from pests in a timely manner. Otherwise, you can lose a decent harvest.
The most dangerous pests of cherry are the hawthorn moth, the leaf roller, aphids and various types of sawflies.
Diseases
Diseases also do not contribute to increasing the yield. Among the most dangerous and widespread are moniliosis, leaf curl and other diseases.
In this case, preventive measures will come to the rescue.
