Proper watering of cherries and sweet cherries at the beginning of summer is the key to obtaining a very high-quality harvest.
The fruits will be juicy and have a very bright taste.
Unfortunately, it is in June that many summer residents make a gross mistake, due to which the desired result is not achieved.
Knowing that cherries and sweet cherries are not very sensitive to drought, some owners of country plots make the wrong conclusion: “These plants do not need regular watering and a lot of water.”
In fact, you need to constantly replenish the moisture deficit.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh presented a schedule that must be followed.
How often and how much to water cherries
The procedure should be performed once every 3-4 days.
In this case, you need to use 30 liters of liquid per square meter of the trunk circle. This is the norm for adult plants.
After the procedure is completed, the soil should be covered with some mulching material. Straw is the ideal option.
Using the latter will ensure that the moisture will not evaporate too quickly. In addition, the cherry and sweet cherry will acquire protection from weeds.
Earlier, summer residents were told how to properly water tomatoes in hot weather .
