Preparation and planting of seedlings for planting. When preparing seedlings for planting, first of all, taking into account the flow of water in the garden area, the soil is well leveled. Per square meter of area is plowed deep (6–10 cm), adding 200–250 kg of manure, humus, 100–120 g of phosphorus, 150–200 g of potassium and 25–30 g of ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
Planting scheme of cherries - 6 × 5 m (on irrigated gray soils) and 6–5 × 5 m (on gravelly-sandy soils), planting time: in early spring - late February - early March.
For planting seedlings are dug pits with a depth and width of 60 × 60 cm. When digging deep, a layer of 20–25 cm of topsoil is placed on one side of the pile, the rest on the other side.
350-400 g of phosphorus, 30-40 g of potassium fertilizer and 8-10 kg of rotten manure are mixed with the soil and then seedlings are planted.
Before planting the seedlings should be immersed in a pre-prepared mulch (fresh cow manure is mixed with the soil in a ratio of 1: 1 and a creamy mass is prepared).
Seedlings are placed upright in the middle and buried in the ground. The place of grafting the seedlings should be 4–5 cm above the soil. After planting the seedlings fill each hole with water. Then the soil is compacted and the seedlings sprout well.
After the soil settles, new soil is added around the seedlings and filled. Seedlings are watered periodically, depending on soil moisture.
If the area of the plot is 0,03 ha, it is recommended to plant 1-2 bushes of cherry varieties on the east-south side of the area where the sun sets. If the area of the plot is 0,06 ha, it is possible to plant fruit crops in half, fruit trees in the rest, and fruit seedlings in the larger part, leaving space for vegetables at 0,10 ha.
Care. The tree is shaped by the method of thinning layers, the side branches are left in 2-3 layers. Arrow branches on the main branches are shortened in order to increase bud germination and reduce branching. During the aging of trees, 4–5-year-old branches are cut and more rejuvenated.
It is recommended to apply 300-350 g of nitrogen, 250-300 g of phosphorus and 200-250 g of potassium fertilizers to cherry trees in the field. Applying an average of 2-3 kg of rotten manure every 50-60 years increases the yield.
