How to Care for Cherry Trees
Caring for Cherry Trees is simple. Just follow the guidelines below for happy, healthy, and thriving Cherry Trees!
• Pruning: Do I need to prune? Cherry Trees should usually be pruned during dormancy in the winter, but some varieties (such as the Sweet Fruiting Cherry Tree) should be pruned in late summer. Follow specific pruning directions for your tree type.
• Pollination: Do I need two Cherry Trees to get fruit? Most of our Cherry Trees are self-fertile; however, purchasing two or more trees ensures a dramatically-increased crop and more variety, whether your Cherry Tree is self-fertile or needs a pollinator.
• Picking: When do I pick the cherries? Before cherries are ready for harvest, clusters of white or pink blossoms will emerge in the spring. Once fruit emerges, wait to harvest until the fruit is firm and fully colored. Sour cherries will come off the stem when they’re ripe, while sweet cherries must be tasted to determine maturity.
