1. Planting

Before planting, the ground needs to be leveled. You can dig a hole with a diameter of 0.8 meters wide and a depth of 0.6 meters. Fill the hole with 10 centimeters of organic fertilizer first, put the seedlings in the hole, and allow the roots of the seedlings to spread out in all directions. After filling the soil for the cherry blossoms, lift the seedlings upwards to allow the roots to spread deeply, and then tamp them down. The planting depth is about 5 cm from the upper layer of the seedling roots. After planting, water it, irrigate it fully, and support it with sticks to prevent it from being blown down by strong winds.

During planting, apply 15 kg to 25 kg of mature compost to each pit, and apply 1 kg to 2 kg of ammonium sulfate to each plant in July. After flowering and before budding in early spring, dead branches, diseased branches, and overgrown branches should be cut off, and pruning of thick branches should be avoided as much as possible to keep the crown of the tree round.

2. Watering

After transplanting, seedlings are susceptible to drought. In addition to sufficient watering during transplanting, water them once every 8-10 days thereafter to keep the soil moist but without water accumulation. Loosen the soil in time after irrigation. It is best to cover the surface thinly with grass to reduce water evaporation. Within 2-3 years after planting, to prevent the trunk from drying out, it can be wrapped with straw. But after 2 to 3 years, the seedlings will grow new roots and their adaptability to the environment will gradually increase, so there is no need to cover them with grass anymore.

3. Fertilization

Cherry blossoms should be fertilized twice a year, preferably with acidic fertilizer. One is winter fertilizer, which is to apply organic fertilizers such as bean cake, chicken manure and decomposed manure in winter or early spring; the other time is after the flowers fall, which is to apply quick-acting fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and superphosphate. Generally, when fertilizing large cherry trees, you can adopt the hole-fertilization method, that is, dig a circular trench about 10 cm deep at the edge of the crown: the front projection line, and then apply the fertilizer. This method is simple and conducive to root absorption. As the tree grows, the diameter and depth of the circular ditch for fertilization will increase accordingly. The roots of cherry trees are shallow and require good drainage and ventilation. Therefore, people, animals and vehicles should avoid treading on the soil around the tree, especially within the root distribution range. Trampling by pedestrians can weaken the tree, shorten its lifespan, or even cause root rot and death.

4. Pruning

Pruning mainly involves cutting off withered branches, overgrown branches, overlapping branches and diseased and insect-infested branches. In addition, when many branches grow on the trunk of a large cherry tree, you should retain a few strong branches and cut the rest from the base to facilitate ventilation and light. After pruning, the wounds of the branches should be disinfected with medicine in time to prevent the invasion of pathogens after rain and cause rot. The bark of cherry blossoms is easily damaged and aged due to long-term exposure to the sun, causing rot. They should be removed and disinfected in time. Afterwards, wrap the rotten parts with leaf mold and charcoal powder to promote the recovery of normal physiological functions.

5. Disease and pest control

Cherry blossoms should mainly prevent gummosis and root nodule diseases, as well as pests such as aphids, red spiders, and scale insects. Gummosis is caused by moths that drill into tree trunks to lay eggs. You can use a sharp knife to dig out the eggs, and at the same time improve the soil and strengthen water and fertilizer management. Root nodule disease can cause the roots of diseased trees to be unable to grow normally, and no matter how much fertilizer is applied, the tree will not be strong. The tumor should be removed promptly, the soil should be disinfected, and the soil should be improved with leaf mold, charcoal powder and microorganisms.

Cherry blossoms can also be used as path trees, hedges or bonsai. If your area is suitable for their growth, you might try planting one or two in your own yard.
