Care of Cherry Trees: Cherry trees need regular watering, especially during dry periods and during the growing season. They also need regular fertilization and pruning to promote good growth and fruit set. Be sure to remove weeds around the base of the tree and apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
Harvesting and Storage: Cherries should be harvested when fully ripe, usually when they are firm to the touch and a deep, rich color. Pick the fruit carefully by hand and avoid damaging the stems. Cherries can be stored briefly in the refrigerator or frozen for later consumption.
By choosing the right varieties, providing proper care and following harvest times, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious cherries straight from your own garden.
