How much is a jin of cherries in 2019? Detailed planting techniques and timing

I think most people are not quite clear on the difference between cherries and chelizi (sweet cherries). In most cases, cherries are cheaper than chelizi. So roughly how much is a jin of cherries in 2019? What about the planting techniques and timing? Let's take a look together with the editor of Tuliu.com.

1. Cherries and chelizi

1. In fact, chelizi generally refers to cherries, while cherry is a general term for certain plants of the genus Prunus, including the subgenus Cerasus, the subgenus sour cherry, the subgenus laurel cherry, and so on. It is a tree with grayish-white bark.

2. Although it is correct to say that cherries are chelizi, there are still differences between them. This is because on the current market there are three species: Chinese cherry, Nanking cherry, and sweet cherry (Prunus avium). We can call the European sweet cherry (also known as large cherry) chelizi, but the first two cannot be called chelizi.

3. Although planting cherry trees is not very easy, they are currently distributed across quite a wide area. They can be seen in countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Chile; in China, the three northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Jilin, as well as Jiangsu, Henan, and Sichuan, are also major cherry-producing areas.

2. Roughly how much is a jin of cherries in 2019?

1. At present, the editor of Tuliu.com has compiled the latest cherry prices from 2018 as follows, for everyone to use as a reference.

2. At present, the total number of cherry trees worldwide is gradually rising, while some cherry-growing areas in China have seen reduced yields due to severe weather, and the increase in import tariffs on foreign goods will inevitably cause cherry prices to rise. Therefore, the editor of Tuliu.com predicts that next year, that is, 2019, cherry prices may rise slightly. Of course, the above is only a prediction and can only be used as a reference; the actual situation should prevail.

3. What about the planting techniques and timing for cherries?

When planting fruit trees, choosing the correct planting time is an important step for success, and in our vast country, differences in latitude across regions create differences in planting time.

(1) Planting time for cherries

1. Cherry propagation time: There are four methods of cherry propagation. Among them, the seedling method, that is, sowing and planting, is best done in early spring (February-April) and autumn-winter (September-December); for cuttings, this can be done during the growing season of cherries in early summer and spring-summer; for air layering, this is done in late spring and early summer during the most vigorous growing season of cherries; finally, for grafting, it is enough to do it before spring sprouting.

2. Chinese cherries have weak cold resistance and prefer a warm and moist climate, making them suitable for cultivation in areas with an average annual temperature of 15-16°C. Sweet cherries prefer cool and dry conditions. The natural dormancy period of cherries is about 80-100 days. The chilling requirement for sweet cherries to complete dormancy is 1100-1300 hours below 7.2°C. Sour cherries require 1200-2500 hours.

3. Cherry planting in Dalian, Shandong, generally begins from the end of March to April. It is best to wait until the frozen soil thaws and the latitude rises before proceeding.

In addition, climate change varies from year to year, and the planting time may also move earlier or later. Everyone should make corresponding adjustments according to the actual situation.

(2) Cherry planting techniques

For planting cherry trees, you can choose cutting, grafting, layering, and sowing methods, and the planting time for each will differ, so everyone should pay attention to this. Because most growers directly buy seedlings for planting, the following introduces the planting techniques for cherry seedlings.

1. When cherry seedlings grow to 55 cm, transplant the cherry seedlings to the planting site, with a spacing of 35 cm between adjacent cherry seedlings. After transplanting, water promptly, and apply the farmyard manure needed during the growth of the cherry seedlings. After the cherry seedlings bloom, carry out flower-period management by promptly spraying fertilizer and pruning at the same time.

2. Cherry tree pruning is generally required to be completed before March 10. For young trees, the main task is to cut off excessively vigorous main branches and excessively vigorous water sprouts on the main branches; for trees in the initial fruiting stage, the structure should be adjusted; for cherry trees in the full fruiting stage, pay attention to ventilation and light inside the canopy.

3. When fertilizing cherry trees, increase the application rate of potassium fertilizer while supplementing medium and trace elements such as calcium, boron, and zinc, and reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer; water for the first time before cherries sprout and bloom, water for the second time ten days to half a month after flower drop, water for the third and fourth times respectively before and after picking, and finally apply base fertilizer in windy October and then water for the last time.

4. During the growth period of cherry trees, they are prone to damage from diseases and pests such as crown gall, brown spot shot hole disease, mulberry white scale, slug moths, and peach red-necked longhorn beetle. Preventive work should be done in advance, and timely detection and treatment should minimize losses.
