Plants should be spaced about four meters apart.

How to prepare the soil

Cherry will delight you with large and tasty fruits if you properly prepare the soil before planting.

If the soil is acidic, you can add lime to it. In sandy soil, it is worth adding nutritious fertilizers.

You can enrich the soil with manure or fertilizers containing potassium and phosphorus.

How to plant seedlings

To plant a cherry tree, you will need a hole about 50 centimeters deep. And its width should be about 80 centimeters.

We pour some soil into the hole. The result should be a small mound.

We place the seedling in it and straighten the roots. To help the tree take root better, you can add a mixture of clay and manure to the hole.
