It happens that the cherry tree blooms lushly every year, but there are no berries or very few.

Why this happens and what to do about it, was explained by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Why the cherry tree does not bear fruit

The most common cause is the lack of a pollinator. Most cherry varieties require cross-pollination.

Plant a pollinator variety (or better yet, two) on your plot that blooms at the same time as your tree, and the problem will be solved.

A new tree does not have to be planted close, the distance can be up to 30 m.

You can simply break off a few branches of the pollinator variety and bring them into your garden.

In addition, you can graft a couple of cuttings of other varieties into the crown of an adult tree. The main thing is that they bloom at the same time.

Earlier, the expert told how to get a rich beet harvest.
