Top Tip
Prune cherry trees in late summer to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, but avoid pruning during winter as this can make the tree susceptible to diseases like silver leaf. Mulching in early spring can help retain soil moisture and provide essential nutrients for vibrant blooms and abundant fruit production.
How to Water
Water cherry trees deeply and consistently during their first growing season to help establish strong roots. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells, especially in summer when the tree is fruiting or flowering. Avoid waterlogging the soil, as cherries are sensitive to overly wet conditions. Early morning or late evening watering is ideal to reduce evaporation and stress on the plant.
How to Plant
To plant cherry trees, select a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil, ideally with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just deep enough for the tree’s base to sit level with the surrounding soil. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the roots are spread out evenly. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the trunk to prevent rot.
