What is the best month to plant cherries?

When is cherry planted?

The best time to plant cherry trees is in autumn. Due to spring drought in northern regions, traditional spring planting increases the difficulty of water management. In addition, you can choose to plant by sowing or by seedlings during the planting process, but it is best not to plant after late autumn.

Planting time in the north and south : There are differences in the time suitable for planting cherries in the south and the north. Cherries can be planted in spring and autumn in the south, while autumn is the best time to plant cherries in the north because management is relatively simple at this time.

Greenhouse planting time : Cherries can be grown in greenhouses. Usually, cherries can be grown in greenhouses all year round, while the open field environment is only suitable for growing cherries in spring, summer and autumn.
