However, although the seasonal cherries are delicious, the price is not low at all, and it is forty or fifty yuan a pound at every turn, and some are good in quality, and even sold to seventy or eighty yuan a pound.
What to do? In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. If you have a friend in the garden at home, you can plant a few cherry fruit trees in the yard. Within three years, you will be able to eat delicious seasonal cherries. At that time, you no longer have to spend a lot of money to buy, you can save a lot of money a year.
Cherry fruit trees are actually very good to plant, pay attention to at least two plants, so that the pollination success rate is relatively high, and the fruit hanging rate is also guaranteed. Some cherries, do not have to wait for three years, often after planting the second year can hang fruit. However, in order to hang more fruits in the future, it is best to pick the first fruit, so that the growth of the fruit tree is better.
Cherry fruit tree maintenance is not complicated, master the following three aspects of the details, you can fruit trees will grow very healthy, thrive, eat delicious cherry on schedule.
1. Environment and soil
Relatively speaking, cherries prefer a dry climate. When there is little rain, it will grow faster, hang more fruit, and the fruit will be sweeter. Therefore, if planted on the balcony, the indicators of fruit trees and fruits will be better.
The growth of cherry seeds is also inseparable from the nourishment of fertile soil. However, in addition to timely topdressing, we must also pay attention to the drainage of the soil, so we must try to keep the soil loose, so that it will not form stagnant water, which is more beneficial to root hair.
Second, growth and reproduction
In order for the cherry to grow better and hang more fruit, it is necessary to prune its branches in time. When pruning, it is mainly for those dead branches, dead branches and overly long branches. The trimmed shape is generally a trunk type or a truncated trunk type.
Old-fashioned cherry fruit trees need to pollinate each other. However, there are now new varieties, and without the need for several fruit trees to pollinate each other, one can achieve self-pollination. Cherry fruit trees also do not need to thin fruit, so it is more convenient.
Third, prevent birds from pecking
One unavoidable disadvantage of cherry fruit trees is that they love birds when they are ripe. Because the fruit is so sweet, the fragrance drifts far away, and it will always attract flocks of birds to come and peck. Therefore, outdoorly planted cherries should do the necessary protective measures.
Usually, we can cover fruit trees with nets so that birds don't peck at the fruit. You can buy some PVC water pipes, make a shelf on the fruit tree, and then fix it on the ground. Then put the grille on the shelf. This is delicious and will be more convenient when the net is removed in the future, and will not cause damage to the fruit trees and nets.
Of course, at this time, we can also see the advantages of short fruit trees, because it is easy to build and remove the net. Therefore, it is necessary to prune the fruit trees every year, and do not let the fruit trees grow too high.
Whether it is a courtyard or a balcony at home, you can plant a cherry fruit tree, which hangs red fruits like agate, and the fruit ripening period is relatively long, which can be eaten and picked as you like, which is both nutritious and delicious and safe. With the cherry fruit tree, there is no longer a need to spend a lot of money on cherries.
