Stop buying cherries in the store. Grow them at home with this step-by-step guide

9. Fertilize properly:

Fertilize your cherry tree with a balanced slow-release fertilizer during the growing season, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, you can use organic fertilizers such as compost or well-rotted manure to provide important nutrients.

10. Protect against pests and diseases:

Watch out for common pests such as aphids, cherry fruit flies, or birds. Take appropriate measures to combat them, such as organic insecticides or nets to cover the tree and deter birds.

11. Support the tree:

As the cherry tree grows, it may need to be supported to prevent the branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit. Use stakes or a trellis system to support the hand trunk and larger branches.

12. Harvest and enjoy:

Depending on the variety, your cherry will bear fruit in two to five years. Once the cherries are ripe, you can carefully accept them by hand. Enjoy the delicious fruit straight from your own tree

Remember that growing a cherry tree requires patience and constant care. With the right attention and care, you can enjoy the beauty and yield of a cherry tree in your own home.
