Landing

The seedling does not need a lot of space, it is enough to maintain a distance of 1.5-2 m relative to other plants and buildings. Place it in a well-lit space bathed in the sun. For mechanized harvesting in gardens, at least 5 m is left between cherry trees.

For guaranteed survival of a cherry seedling in a summer cottage, all basic requirements should be strictly observed during planting. It is necessary to correctly determine the timing of planting, correctly choose a seedling, prepare a planting pit.
Cherry grafting is an agricultural technique, during which one plant fragment is transferred to another to obtain a new crop with its own characteristics and properties. During the procedure, the aerial part of one tree is spliced ​​with a fragment of another culture. This will increase the yield of the cherry tree as well as increase its resistance to diseases and pests.

Growing and care

The shrub shape of the trunk and crown requires regular pruning. Carmine Jewel gives a fairly abundant growth of shoots, so cherries are formed, and in the spring they also remove dry, frozen branches. At the same time, you can feed the tree by loosening the trunk circle beforehand. The best fertilizer will be rotted manure, 20-30 kg at the root.
