Juliet Cherry Tree

1. Planting: Juliet Cherry Trees, like other cherry varieties, thrive in full sun, requiring 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day. They are best planted in autumn or early spring; planting in autumn allows the roots to establish before the spring growth period. When planting Juliet cherry bushes, space them 7 to 10 feet apart. Although they can tolerate various soil types, they prefer loamy soil with good drainage. Be sure to water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistently moist soil without waterlogging, especially during the first few weeks.

2. Watering: Water your cherry trees regularly, particularly during dry spells, but take care to avoid overwatering, as they cannot tolerate "wet feet."

3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to promote the growth of horizontal branches.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer in both spring and mid-summer for best results.

5. Pollination: Juliet is a self-fertile variety, allowing it to produce fruit without the need for another cherry tree for pollination. However, planting a different cherry variety, such as Romeo, can enhance fruit production.
