Large and sweet cherries are a real decoration of the garden. Proper and timely care with the application of the necessary fertilizers increases the chances of harvesting a rich harvest. Therefore, it is worth finding out how you can feed the cherry in the spring so that the berry is sweet like honey.
Fertilization is a whole science, writes specialized portal fertilizerdaily.
First, it is important to plant trees in the right soil for them. Ideally, it should be sandy. But if it is heavy clay, humus, ash, mineral fertilizers should be added to it.
By planting cherries in the hole, it is best to add calcium chloride or superphosphate. These mineral fertilizers will most effectively help the seedling grow and develop. Such fertile soil allows the gardener to forget about feeding a young tree for three years.
But cherries do not always need fertilizers. To understand this, you should follow the growth. If the tree is young, it is less than 7 years old, it should grow from 50 cm per year. If the shoots grow more slowly, then the need for additional feeding.
Fertile cherries constantly need fertilizer. First of all, we are talking about rotted manure or compost. But mineral supplements will not be superfluous.
Gardeners know that from the first warm days you need to garden. And you should start with pruning cherries. Only after that you can think about top dressing.
It should be fertilized according to the following algorithm:
- after pruning branches, but before the appearance of buds, urea or ammonium nitrate;
- before flowering - fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium.
From the very beginning of spring, cherries need nitrogen. This chemical element is important for the tree, because it allows it to form a lush green mass.
The second feeding should contain potassium and phosphorus. They will make the berry bigger and tastier, and it will also become sweet like honey. If there is not enough calcium in the soil, then top dressing with this element can be introduced.
During the formation of the ovaries, you can spray the cherry with a solution of potassium and phosphorus. After a few days, a glass of ash should be added under each tree.
Succinic acid will also be an excellent fertilizer for cherries that have not yet blossomed. Only 3 g of the substance must be dissolved in 10 liters of water and sprayed on the trees.
Fertilizers are important not only in spring, but also in summer. At the end of August, it is advisable to make a top dressing consisting of the following components: 10 liters of water, 1 tbsp. l. potassium solution, 2 tbsp. l. granulated superphosphate,
300 g of ash.
This is an excellent top dressing that will nourish the tree and improve the taste of the berries. After all, delicious and sweet cherries are the best reward for a gardener.
