China cherries are mainly suitable for planting cherries in Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. Cherry is suitable for the climate with annual average temperature of 10 to 12℃, annual precipitation of 600 to 700mm, and annual sunshine hours of more than 2,600 to 2,800 h, and sandy loam with loose soil and deep soil layer is the best soil.

Planting conditions

Cherry is a deciduous fruit tree that likes temperature but is not cold-resistant. Cherry in China is native to the Yangtze River valley in China, which adapts to warm and humid climate and has weak cold resistance. Therefore, it is widely cultivated in the Yangtze River valley and the northern microclimate areas. Cherry is very sensitive to water conditions, and it is neither drought-resistant nor waterlogging-tolerant. In the cultivation areas of cherries in China, except for the abundant rainfall in southern provinces, the areas with humid microclimate in hillsides and valleys are mostly selected in the north.

Sweet cherries and sour cherries are native to West Asia and Europe, and are suitable for cool and dry climate, so they are suitable for cultivation in North China, Northwest China and Southeast China. However, high temperature drying in summer is not good for the growth of sweet cherries.
