Gardeners often face a problem: after flowering, the cherry tree dries up and does not produce a harvest.
There are several reasons why this happens. In any of them, the gardener's participation is necessary.
Why do cherries dry up?
1. This result can be caused by a moisture deficit. The situation is especially aggravated in hot weather. Resuming watering will correct the problem.
2. Incorrect fertilization. If the soil does not contain enough nutrients, flowers and fruits may dry out.
3. Pests and diseases. For example, a common cause is monilial burn.
In this case, all infected branches are removed and the tree is treated with Bordeaux mixture.
It is best to do this before the buds open if a similar problem was observed last year.
Thus, cherries need regular watering, fertilizing and pest and disease prevention.
