Family: Rosaceae, plum.

Scientific name: Prunusserrulata.

Alias: mountain cherry, fukushima cherry, green skin cherry, mountain cherry.

Habits: Cherry originated in China, Japan and Korea, deciduous trees, strong adaptability, like sunshine and relatively humid climate. Cold-resistant strong, not water and humidity, not resistant to smoke, not resistant to salt and alkali. Likes good drainage, pH 5.5 -6.5 slightly acidic fertile loam.

January: Pay attention to cold work.

February: transplant cultivation, should bring soil, pay attention to keep the root system intact, and properly cut off some branches, the hole should be pre-applied some decomposed compost.

March: Grafting propagation, mostly with cherry, wild cherry as rootstock, can be cut or split before flowering, survival rate is high. Hardwood cuttings can also be carried out. Thinning liquid fertilizer once before flowering.

April: enter flowering period, pay attention to intertillage weeding, pay attention to timely drainage in rainy days. Pay attention to timely pest control.

May: Continue to bloom. Same as last month's management.

June: The second fertilizer is applied to promote flower bud differentiation. After flowering, the main branches at all levels are truncated, and the thin branches and diseased branches in the bore are thinned to improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions. Pay attention to pest control.

July: Cuttings can be made. Timely intertill weeding and drainage after rain.

August: Pay attention to intertill weeding and pest control.

September: Same as last month's management.

October: gradually turn into dormant state, remove dead branches and leaves in time, stop watering. Cherry blossoms are differentiated into flower buds by the terminal buds of the first annual branches and several lateral buds at the top, so do not cut short, usually using natural tree shape. Generally, only dead branches, diseased branches and branches that affect the tree size are cut off. When the seedlings grow to 1-2 meters high, cut off the top of the trunk, and select a few buds growing symmetrically on the trunk to culture into main branches.

11 days: after defoliation, compost is applied as base fertilizer to promote the growth of the next year and lay a good foundation.

December: Do a good job in cultivating soil and cold protection.
