Cherry planting
It is worth planting cherries in the fall or spring. However, experienced gardeners recommend doing this in the spring.
A hole must be dug so wide and deep that all the straightened roots of the seedling fit there.
The top layer must be thrown aside, the bottom layer must also be thrown away, but in the other direction. Now we drive a stake into the pit and fill it by seventy-five percent with phosphorus-potassium and organic fertilizers, as well as fertile soils.
After that, we plant seedlings. The depth of each seedling is individual, so I cannot say exactly to what depth to plant it. Now we crush the ground well and tie the landing to the support pillar and leave it for the first few years.
After you have planted the seedling, you need to make a hole and pour out the water, preferably two buckets.
