2. How should cherry trees be fertilized?

For cherry trees, besides buying a suitable variety of nursery stock, the key to planting lies in fertilizer. Fertilize reasonably, choose the right fertilizer varieties, and pay attention to fertilizing techniques.

1. Types of fertilizer

Because cherry trees grow relatively fast, the whole process from flowering to harvest takes about 50 days; if the cherries are larger, it may take two months. So in view of these circumstances, we need relatively good base fertilizer, flower fertilizer and post-fruit fertilizer. Unlike other plants, cherry trees do not need much nitrogen fertilizer added; the proportion of phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer is larger.

2. Fertilizing time

2.1 Base fertilizer is generally chosen to be applied in autumn. Base fertilizer can be made up of human and livestock urine, barnyard manure and so on, applied in a concentrated way in autumn, and no later than November.

2.2 The time for topdressing can be controlled to when the cherry tree blooms or after it produces fruit. It is mainly nitrogen fertilizer; nitrogen fertilizer can increase the fruit-setting rate of cherries, make the cherry leaves more plump and emerald green, and the appearance will also be better.

2.3 The annual supplementary fertilizing time is after the cherries are picked. Because after picking the cherries, the cherry tree needs to be given nutrients in time, which allows the flower buds to differentiate quickly. Cherry trees have a qualitative change period of flower bud differentiation, and the supplementary fertilizer can be replaced with bean cake or chemical fertilizer and so on.
