How to transplant cherry trees in winter

1. Dig out the tree

Dig out the tree with its roots, preferably with the root part still attached and the bigger the better. This will reduce damage to the root system, especially the taproot, and maximize the chance of survival.

2. Pruning branches

In order to ensure the accumulation of nutrients and avoid wasting them, and to avoid excessive consumption of water, the branches should be pruned, removing most of the original branches and some of the leaves, leaving a small amount for breathing. The pruned parts should be well protected and coated with protective agent to prevent infection.

3. Transplanting pit

According to the size of the tree, dig a pit for transplanting. The pit should be wider and deeper than the size of the tree. Apply enough base fertilizer underneath, mix it with the planting soil, and then disinfect it with disinfectant to avoid unnecessary problems later. Then transplant the trees in, fill them with potting soil, and water them thoroughly to promote root growth.

4. Shade scaffolding

Newly transplanted trees cannot withstand strong sunlight because they have not yet fully adapted, so they need to be shaded. The next step is to put up a shelf to prevent it from being blown down by the wind.
