It takes more than three years for a cherry tree to bear fruit.
Cherry trees usually take 3 to 6 years to bear fruit. Normally, it takes 3 to 6 years for cherries to grow from saplings to bearing fruit, and there are many variable factors that will prolong the fruit-bearing time. However, it takes one year to harvest the fruit by grafting, and most fruit farmers adopt grafting propagation. Planting is usually carried out before germination in early March. If the cherry seedlings have already germinated, the root system must be brought with the original soil for planting.
Cherry trees need to ensure sufficient light, improve ventilation and light transmission conditions in a timely manner, and prune off overly dense branches. When planting, choose soil with good air permeability and drainage to avoid soil that is too sticky and affects the growth of the root system. Before planting seedlings, apply 5,000 kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure per acre, and then plow deeply before planting. After May, apply urea + potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and do not apply nitrogen fertilizer alone.
Introduction to cherries
Cherry (Prunus? spp.), a perennial woody plant of the genus Prunus in the Rosaceae family, has gray-white bark, gray-brown or gray-brown branches, and green twigs; The leaves are oval; the inflorescence is umbrella-shaped, and the petals are obovate, white or pink; the fruit is nearly spherical and turns red when mature; the flowering period is from March to April; the fruiting period is from May to June.
Cherry is native to China and is now mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Shandong and other places in China. It is also cultivated in Northeast China and Yunnan; it is also distributed in Europe, Asia and North America. Cherries often grow in forests, shrubs and grasslands on sunny hillsides; they like a warm environment, are cold-tolerant, like moisture, like fertilizer, and like sandy loam with deep, loose soil and good ventilation. The propagation method of cherries is mainly seed propagation, and seedlings are mostly propagated artificially through division, layering, cutting and other methods.
