Cherry is cherry.
Cherry, also known as cherry, peach, peach, etc., is one of the earliest fruits of the tree on the market, known as "the first branch of a hundred fruits". It is said that the yellow warbler especially like to peck this fruit, and thus also known as "warbler peach". Although the fruit is as small as a pearl, but the color is red and shiny, exquisite as agate gems, sweet taste with a hint of sourness, both fresh, but also pickled or as a garnish for other dishes.
Growth habit
Chinese cherries are weak in cold resistance, preferring a warm and humid climate, suitable for cultivation in places where the average annual temperature is 15 to 16 ℃. Sweet Chelsea prefer cool and dry. Chelsea natural dormancy period of about 80 to 100 days. Sweet Chelsea to complete the dormancy of the cold need for 7.3 ℃ below 1100 ~ 1300 hours. Sour cheerios need 1200 to 2500 hours.
Chinese cherries have a short dormancy period, in late winter and early spring when the temperature warms up easy to sprout, if the "spring cold" (frost or snow), so that the flower organs frozen, will seriously affect the yield, or even grain harvest.
So the development must pay attention to the local spring cold wave each year whether the time of low temperature and cold wave attack and the flowering period coincide, in consecutive years in the flowering period of Chelsea unfavorable weather (frost, snow, wind), etc. can not be planted in the place. Even in places where disastrous weather rarely occurs, it is important to choose suitable terrain for planting when establishing a garden.
Annual rainfall suitable for the growth of Chelsea, generally 700 to 1000 millimeters. Some areas in the south should give full consideration to how to solve the "spring drought" problem. Because in the early stages of fruit growth drought will cause serious fruit drop and affect fruit growth and development.
Cherry is a light-loving species, the Chinese cherry is more tolerant of shade, but good light, fruit ripening early, good coloring.
Cherry is suitable for cultivation in fertile and loose, deep sandy soil. Soil acidity and alkalinity, generally PH6.0 ~ 7.5.
Chinese Chelsea root vertical distribution, generally more concentrated in the soil layer of about 20 centimeters deep, the requirements of loose soil, drainage and irrigation conditions are good. Heavy clay soil is not suitable for planting Chelsea. Because of the intolerance of Chelsea to transportation, the garden should be built in a location with convenient transportation.
Planting density should vary according to variety, rootstock and soil conditions. On fertile flat land, Chinese cherry using Y-shaped shaping dense planting, can be 1 × 3 meters, 220 plants per acre, if the use of natural bush shape or natural happy shape shaping, can be 2 to 3 meters × 3 to 4 meters. The juvenile stage can then appropriately increase the density, into the garden to take measures to deal with the deforestation.
Planting time is generally divided into two periods of fall and spring, in the winter cold, dry, windy areas should be planted in the spring, spring planting should be in the seedlings before germination. In warm winter places can be planted in the fall.
Before planting, the soil should be y tilled and ripened, digging large planting holes. Each hole into the organic fertilizer 25 ~ 50 kg. After mixing the fertilizer with the soil, then plant the seedlings, and immediately pour the root water.
