Cherries are a fruit that many people enjoy eating, with a bright and attractive red color like agate, and are rich in various vitamins, making them very popular in the market. The best season for transplanting cherry trees is spring. Look below for the specific time and precautions.
I. Best Transplanting Time
It is easy to survive when移植ing in early March or early October in spring or autumn.
However, transplanting cherry trees in spring has more advantages than in autumn. Because cherry trees transplanted in autumn experience a winter of low temperatures, which can cause freezing injury, trees affected by frost are prone to dead branches. There are many advantages to transplanting in spring. After a spring, summer, and autumn growth, the cherry tree has already stored enough nutrients and has enough energy to quickly take root and sprout in the new environment after transplanting.
Of course, if the management technology is high, and the orchard has no defoliation, waterlogging, sufficient nutrient reserves, and proper frost prevention measures, autumn transplanting can be considered. Otherwise, it is recommended to choose spring transplanting for greater peace of mind.
II. Precautions
When transplanting, dig a larger hole to loosen the soil and apply sufficient decomposed organic fertilizer, then fill the soil and compact it. Each tree can be watered with a certain amount of plant growth regulator to improve survival rates.
The best season for transplanting large cherry trees is before the spring sprouts, trying to take more roots, especially large ones, and cut the upper branches heavily, reducing one-third of the total branches. It is best to preserve the original soil, keeping the planting direction and depth similar to the original, then pressing down and watering thoroughly after planting. After digging the seedlings, try to plant them quickly and avoid exposure to the cold.
