Usually, summer residents plant fruit trees and bushes where there is free space. And if in the vegetable garden they try to choose the best places for seedlings, then in the garden they usually do not stand on ceremony.
Let's figure out where it is best to plant a cherry tree so that it grows well and bears fruit.
Those who choose lowlands for planting stone fruit crops are mistaken.
Cherry trees do not like close proximity to groundwater and are much more willing to grow and bear fruit at elevated locations.
In addition, the lowlands are treacherous in that during the spring return frosts, the bulk of the harvest is lost here.
It is enough for the air temperature to drop to just 1 degree below zero and the ovaries will die. Flowers die at 2 degrees below zero.
In addition, given the cherry tree’s dislike of high humidity, it is necessary to avoid stagnation of melt and rainwater in the area where it grows.
The most important thing is to determine the acidity of the soil before planting cherries.
If necessary, you will have to apply lime or add dolomite flour and keep this issue under control in the future.
