Where is the best place to grow cherries?

Cherry growing area

Cherries generally grow in places with sufficient sunlight and are suitable for growing in places with fertile soil and deep soil. They are planted in most parts of northern my country.

Cherries are suitable for planting in places with moderate precipitation and warm and humid summers. However, due to its shallow root system, it cannot withstand large-scale rainfall, so it is relatively less cultivated in the south. It has a high tolerance to cold and can survive the winter in most parts of the north, so it is widely distributed. The cherries in Yantai, Shandong, my country are relatively famous.

Cherry Growing Conditions

Cherries are suitable for growing in a temperate monsoon climate with moderate temperatures and simultaneous rain and heat. The best annual average temperature is maintained at ten to twelve degrees Celsius, which can provide the best conditions for the growth of cherries. It is a light-loving plant that can withstand exposure to the sun and directly receive full sunlight.

Key points of cherry planting and management

1. Lighting:

Cherries require long, continuous hours of sunshine during their growth process, with a total annual sunshine amount of about 2,600 hours, so when choosing a planting site, try to pick an area with strong light.

2. Water content:

Cherries have shallow roots. If the water content of the planting soil is too high, the roots of the plants may easily be unable to breathe. If the rainfall in the rainy season is excessive, drainage should be carried out in time.

3. Soil:

In order to make it easier for cherry plants to absorb water and nutrients, a certain amount of gravel and peat soil should be mixed into the soil before planting to increase the looseness of the soil.
