sweet fresh Cherry seedling

     Cherry trees are a deciduous flowering tree growing from 6 (1.8 m )  to 30 (9.1 m) feet tall depending on the variety. Originally from Asia, they usually only live about 20 years and by the fourth year will begin bearing fruit. Mature trees can produce up to 50 quarts (47 kg) of cherries a year depending on the size of the tree.  Cherry trees bloom in late spring to early summer and produce crops of cherries starting in July. 

Water your cherry tree regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during the warmer summer months. Use a soaker hose or a garden hose for a deep watering, letting the water run at a slow trickle for about two hours once a week.

Feed your cherry tree with a slow-release balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) when spring flowering begins. Cherry trees generally do not need much fertilizer and should not be fertilized once they are bearing fruit. If desired, you can add a nitrogen rich fertilizer (10-5-5) after harvesting is done in the late summer or early fall.

Add a 2-inch layer of mulch, such as shredded bark or straw, around the base of the tree from the trunk out to the drip line of the outer branches. Mulch is important in keeping weeds and grass down in the first few years when the tree is getting established. Add another thick layer of mulch, about 4 inches, around the tree in late fall to protect it from cold winter weather.

Prune your cherry tree in late summer or early fall after the fruit has finished producing. Cut out all diseased, dead or damaged branches and open up the middle of the tree to allow good air circulation. Cut off any branches that are crossing or rubbing and cut off any bottom branches that are closer than 2 feet to the ground. When cutting branches, make the cut about 1/8 inch above a bud and cut on a downward slant away from the bud so water runs off the cut. Cover cuts with a non-asphalt-based pruning paste available at your local gardening store.
