For many, it is one of the most beautiful deciduous fruit trees. They are quite a sight in spring, when they are filled with those beautiful white flowers, but they are also in autumn, as their leaves turn from green to more orange tones. And if it was not enough, its fruits are delicious.
Towards the end of summer is the ideal time in which we can take the opportunity to learn how to plant a cherry tree. Do you sign?
The cherry tree, whose scientific name is Prunus avium, is a fruit tree native to the Mediterranean region, highly appreciated for its tasty fruits and its great ornamental value. If you want to have one in your garden or in your garden, you can plant as soon as the leaves begin to fall. However, if you are in a hurry or if it is a young specimen, there is no need to wait for that to happen. Still, it is important that, in any case, the tree is carefully removed from the pot, trying that the root ball does not crumble.
We have to make a planting hole, at least, deep enough so that it fits without difficulty, but I recommend that you make one of 1m x 1m, since this way you can mix the soil with a little (more or less, 10%) compost or worm castings, at the same time as you make sure that the roots are easier to develop properly by having an airy and loose soil. After planting it in its final place, give it a good watering, and put a stake so that the wind cannot bend it.
While the cherry tree is not an invasive rooted tree, it is convenient to locate it about 3m in a radius pipes, cemented floors, or any other type of construction so that tomorrow can be seen in all its splendor.
