Plant a cherry tree and you can both admire the cherry blossoms and taste the fruit

It is now the season when cherries ripen, and many people love eating cherries because they are extremely high in nutritional value and have excellent benefits and effects on the human body. Moreover, cherries can not only be eaten fresh, but also pickled or made into desserts; they taste sweet with a slight tartness and are highly favored by people. Since cherries do not keep for long, it is best to eat them right after picking. So many people buy saplings to plant on their own land, so that they can both admire the beautiful cherry blossoms and taste delicious cherries. How do you plant cherry saplings? How much do cherry saplings cost?

How are cherries planted?

To grow delicious and appealing cherries, you must first find high-quality cherry saplings. The quality of cherry saplings not only directly affects how fast the saplings grow, how early or late they bloom and bear fruit, and how high the yield is, but also has a great impact on the saplings' adaptability and stress resistance. What is most overlooked is that the quality of the saplings also affects the quality of the fruit. Therefore, when planting cherries, you should select saplings that are propagated from superior stock and are strong and healthy. Although the cherry is a fairly widespread plant in our daily lives, not all places are suitable for growing it. Since cherries prefer light and warmth, they generally grow along ditch edges or on hillsides. In addition, when planting cherries, it is best to choose late winter or early spring. Because spring is the season when all things grow, planting at this time means they grow very fast and the survival rate is also relatively high. One thing to note when planting: you must plant at least 2 cherry trees, as they need to cross-pollinate each other, otherwise they will not bear fruit.

In addition, what many people worry about most is that when the cherries they grow reach the fruiting stage, fruit cracking easily occurs. These problems are all caused by not paying attention during planting. So, when fertilizing the cherries in spring or autumn, also remember to apply quicklime to the cherry saplings, so that the quicklime absorbs moisture from the soil and slowly decomposes, providing a large amount of calcium to the tree roots. It not only lets the cherry saplings absorb the nutrients they need, but can also regulate the soil's acid-base balance, kill pathogens and nematodes in the soil, and prevent fruit splitting.

How much do cherry saplings cost?

Cherry saplings are divided into many varieties such as Early Big Fruit, Italian Early Red, and Qihao, with prices all between 15-20 yuan per plant. However, because each variety differs in terms of cultivation techniques, prices also vary. Since there are many varieties of cherry saplings, prices differ accordingly. When buying cherry saplings, we often consider choosing some of the better varieties, because with good varieties the technical content is also relatively higher. So the price of good varieties is a bit higher, especially for orchards that specialize in growing cherries, as they can bring us very good economic returns.

Another point is that the cherry is an economically valuable crop. Compared with other crops, its economic value is relatively high, so the value of cherry saplings also determines their price. There are many kinds of cherry saplings, both domestic and imported; domestic ones are further divided among many different cultivation bases, and the techniques of each cultivation base differ. Saplings grown at cultivation bases with good techniques cost much more, and the prices of saplings of different varieties often differ greatly; for the same variety, small saplings are also cheaper than large ones. So fruit growers generally choose economically priced saplings, while non-growers are advised to choose slightly more expensive saplings of better quality, since after all they are just planting them to eat themselves.
