How to grow purple-leaf dwarf cherry

Selection of planting site

Soil conditions

The purple-leafed dwarf cherry has very strong growth potential and is naturally not very picky about the soil. It can grow normally in light clay, loam or sandy soil, but if you want it to grow best, you should choose sandy soil or loam.

Lighting conditions

In addition to the above-mentioned soil conditions, the planting site should also have good lighting conditions. Once the light is insufficient, the leaves of the purple-leaf dwarf cherry will appear green and will lose their original beauty.

Terrain conditions

Purple-leaf dwarf cherry can grow well in a humid environment, but it is not easy to be too wet. This requires that the terrain of the planting site should not be a depression or too convex, so it is best to plant it in the lawn.

Water and fertilizer management

The purple-leaf dwarf cherry likes to be fertilized a lot, of course, this "more" is also a certain dosage. If it is a newly planted seedling, in addition to fertilizing at the time of planting, appropriate top dressing should also be applied in early spring and early summer during the growing period. Lack of fertilizer will affect the growth of purple-leaf dwarf cherry.

Winter management

Purple-leafed dwarf cherry is not a fragile plant, so to overwinter, you only need to whitewash the trunk. For seedlings, in the first year they should be managed over the winter by adding soil to the roots and wrapping grass around the trunks. In the second year, the trunks can be whitewashed.

Pest control

Purple-leafed dwarf cherry is easily harmed by various diseases and pests during cultivation, so every winter when the tree trunks are whitewashed, the insect eggs and cocoons should be cleaned up, and then some fungicides should be sprayed in early spring.

Plastic pruning

Pruning is mainly aimed at diseased and insect-infested branches, dead branches, crossed branches, inner branches and overly dense branches. After pruning, ventilation and light transmission can be better, which is conducive to the growth of purple-leaf dwarf cherry.
