Growing cherry trees is easy. Perhaps the biggest problem is keeping the birds from beating you to the harvest. \u00a0It can also be difficult to bring in a bowl of cherries from the tree. People tend to eat these sweet delights as they walk from the tree toward the house.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Cherry trees can grow 20-30 feet tall, or more. They produce a profusion of blooms in early spring. Cherry blossom time is a cause for celebration in many areas of the country. \u00a0The fruit matures early in the season and is harvested in late spring.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>There are two basic types of cherries:<\/b><\/p><ul><li><p align=\"Left\">Sweet Cherries &#8211; The ones you eat fresh from your tree. Home gardeners prefer sweet cherries that they can eat fresh.<\/p><\/li><li><p align=\"Left\">Sour Cherries &#8211; are commonly used in baking. Most sour cherry trees are grown in orchards by farmers.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p align=\"Left\">If you don&#8217;t know the difference between sweet and sour cherries, taste a fresh one of each&#8230;..then you&#8217;ll know for certain!!!<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Wood from cherry trees is hard. It makes excellent lumber for furniture.

Most likely, the container of the tree you purchased, is made of bio-degradable, heavy peat material. After planting, it will soften and break down in the moist soil, allowing the roots to easily penetrate it and grow. If the container is plastic or some other material, you will need to remove the roots from it during planting.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Dig a hole about three times as big and deeper than the root ball. Mix in plenty of rich compost into the hole, along\u00a0with fresh, \u00a0rich soil.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">If it is in a peat container, cut slits in the container to speed up its decomposition, and to help the roots to emerge easier.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Plant the cherry tree to a depth equal to where it is in the container. Do not plant it deeper.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Fill in around the roots with a mixture of compost and soil.

Once your cherry tree is established, it should grow well with little attention. \u00a0Fruit tree fertilizer spikes for the first few years will help young trees to get off to a fast, healthy start.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Each spring, before buds open, apply a dormant oil fruit tree spray. This will kill a variety of insects. Apply a fruit tree spray frequently during the season, if you have problems with insects or disease. We strongly recommend you avoid spraying near harvest time. In all cases, follow the directions on the label for application and use.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">The fruit ripens between late May to near the end of June, depending upon where you live. Make certain to beat the birds to the cherries. Harvest the fruit as soon as it is ripe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-42f2ecf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42f2ecf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e0961cf\" data-id=\"e0961cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3914a53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3914a53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pruning Cherry Trees<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d4b312 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d4b312\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05d3e0e\" data-id=\"05d3e0e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0234029 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0234029\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"Left\">Like other plants, pruning your cherry tree is healthy for it. This should be done by early spring, before the new year&#8217;s growth begins. \u00a0<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Prune the tree yearly, to remove dead or unhealthy branches and limbs. Also, prune in areas where growth is very bushy. This will increase sunlight and air penetration, to help the overall health and growth of the tree. You can also prune branches to maintain a shapely-looking tree.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Annual pruning will help keep your tree smaller and more manageable, too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ac9056 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9ac9056\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9636dd4\" data-id=\"9636dd4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33d2927 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33d2927\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keeping the Birds Away from Your Cherries<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1446dfa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1446dfa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a1fcde\" data-id=\"6a1fcde\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c913bc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c913bc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"Left\">If you don&#8217;t work to keep birds from getting to your cherry tree, you stand to lose a serious portion of the harvest.
