Soil conditions for planting big cherry

Big cherry likes deep, fertile, loose and breathable soil, which requires a PH value of 6.5-7.5 and a content of organic matter of more than 1%. It is not resistant to waterlogging, and the stagnant water in the soil should be discharged in time, otherwise it will cause the death of big cherry trees. It is also sensitive to seed planting, so it is better to plant non-fruit crops for two to three years before planting, and then big cherries will be better.

1. Temperature: big cherries begin to blossom when the temperature is above 15 ℃, and the fruit will mature after about 2 months at 20-25 ℃. Big cherry is very weak against frost, so it is easy to suffer frost damage if there is late spring cold in spring.

two。 Soil: big cherries grow better in sandy loam where the soil is deep, loose and well aerated. If planted on poorly drained, clayey soil, it will cause the tree to grow weakly.

3. Moisture: the root of cherry needs high oxygen concentration, is very sensitive to hypoxia, and is also very sensitive to soil water content. When the soil moisture is too high, it is easy to cause the lack of oxygen in the soil, affect the normal respiration of the root system, and rot the root seriously. When the soil moisture is low in dry soil in summer, insufficient watering will not only inhibit the growth of new shoots, but also cause premature senescence of trees and poor fruit quality.

4. Light: big cherry is a sunny type. Under sufficient light conditions, the tree will grow strong, the life of fruit branches will be prolonged, the flower buds will be full and full, and the fruit setting rate will be high.

5. Wind: the wind also has a great influence on the planting of cherries. Strong winds in severe winter can easily cause branches to dry and flower buds frozen, so Fangfeng also needs special attention.

When planting big cherries, we should first consider the local transportation and sales, local climate and other conditions to choose suitable varieties.
