How much does a cherry sapling cost? Introduction to planting methods
The cherry is a brightly colored fruit shaped like a ruby, with a sweet-and-sour taste that is also a bit like a plum. Cherries are grown in many parts of the world; generally, those from abroad are called cherries (che-lizi), while those from China are called cherries. Eating cherries regularly has a certain relieving effect on poor spleen and stomach, dry mouth and tongue, and anemia. In recent years, more and more people in China have been growing cherries. Let us take a look below at how much a cherry sapling costs per plant and what the planting method is.
I. How much does a cherry sapling cost per plant?
The price of cherry saplings is related to factors such as variety, place of origin, stem diameter, height, crown width, ground diameter and order quantity, and the specific price varies quite a bit. Based on information from relevant websites, we can refer to the following:
Pure-bred cherry saplings with a stem diameter of 0.5cm, height of 150cm, crown width of 10cm and ground diameter of 1.2cm cost 6 yuan per plant; dwarf cherry saplings with a stem diameter of 0.5cm, height of 130cm, crown width of 10cm and ground diameter of 1.2cm cost 13 yuan per plant; Black Pearl cherry saplings with a stem diameter of 0.5cm, height of 150cm, crown width of 10cm and ground diameter of 1.2cm cost 8 yuan per plant; che-lizi cherry saplings with a stem diameter of 0.5cm, height of 50cm, crown width of 10cm and ground diameter of 1.2cm cost 8 yuan per plant; Russian No. 8 cherry saplings with a stem diameter of 0.5cm, height of 150cm, crown width of 10cm and ground diameter of 1.2cm cost 12 yuan per plant.
In summary, the price of cherry saplings is roughly between a few yuan and a dozen or so yuan. For specifics, you can negotiate at your local sapling market, and try to buy varieties suited to being grown in that area, otherwise no matter how high the yield is, it will be someone else's business. When selecting saplings, be sure to choose soil-bearing saplings with an intact root system and no wounds on the plant, as this is better for storage and transport.
II. What is the planting method for cherry saplings?
1. Planting time
Cherry saplings are usually planted in spring or autumn, with autumn planting mostly used in northern regions.
Autumn planting can give cherry saplings more buffer time, effectively reducing malnutrition or the occurrence of frostbite and death by freezing. After planting cherry saplings in autumn, pat the soil firm, which can increase the survival rate of cherry saplings and reduce the rate of death by freezing.
2. Seed selection
It is recommended to choose planting varieties suited to China's soil and climate types, as these have stronger adaptability and a higher survival rate.
3. Daily management
After cherries are planted, ensure stable temperatures; generally they grow more vigorously in a warm environment. If the temperature is too high, it will affect fruiting. After cherry saplings are transplanted, water them thoroughly, and during the fruiting period they also need to be watered strictly according to soil conditions, otherwise fruit drop will occur.
Usually, also pay attention to pruning cherry saplings; if there are too many branches, late fruiting and poor fruit quality are very likely to occur.
4. Pest and disease control
During the growth of cherry trees, if management is not up to standard, pest and disease attacks will likewise occur. Once there are wormholes or other marks, the marketability of the cherries will be reduced and they will not fetch a good price.
