How many kilograms of cherry are generally produced per mu? Yield and profit per mu

Cherry yield per mu

About 150 cherry trees can be planted on one acre of cherry land, and the final yield per acre is between 1,000 and 2,000 kilograms. If the planting is good, it may reach more than 3,000 kilograms, which is considered a high yield.

Cherry planting prospects

1. Planting cost

  The cost of investing in cherry trees generally includes land rent, cherry seedlings, planting, watering, fertilizing, pesticides and pruning. Six thousand yuan is required in the first year. From the beginning of cultivating cherry seedlings to full fruiting, a total of fifteen thousand yuan is required.

After 4 years, the cherry yield per mu is about 3,000 kilograms. Calculated at a purchase price of 20 yuan per kilogram of cherries, the average annual profit is about 10,000 yuan, so the investment in cherry planting can be recovered in 4 years.

2. Planting prospects

  Currently, the most popular cherries in the market are those grown in Shandong Province. They are large in size and sweet in taste. The demand for cherries has been rising in the past decade, and mechanized management has greatly reduced labor costs. In addition, cherries mature early and have high selling prices, giving them a great advantage in market competition.

However, due to factors such as its poor storage resistance and small cultivation area, its actual yield is very limited. If it is grown well, it is indeed a good business opportunity.

How to grow cherries for high yield

1. Requirements for soil: The roots of cherries will grow very lushly. You need to choose a place with fertile soil and good ventilation. It is more important to plant cherries continuously. You need to plant some other crops in the field before planting cherries.

2. Planting method: After harvesting cherries, take out the seeds from the fruit, clean them and put them in a cool place to dry for a few days. When sowing, put the seeds in a shallower pot. When seedlings grow, transplant the seedlings into a shallow pot.

3. Fertilizer and water management: You can choose to dig a shallow ditch around the cherry tree to ensure that there is no water accumulation. The growth and development of cherries is very slow. If you want the fruit to be plump and taste good, you must provide sufficient nutrients during the first growth.

4. Frost prevention and control: The temperature is not very high before and after the Spring Festival, and frost is very likely to occur, causing the death of flower buds. You can add some organic fertilizer to it appropriately, protect its leaves, and water it with some antifreeze before it freezes to increase its frost resistance.
