How do I care for a cherry tree in spring?
In spring, a cherry tree needs special care: In March you should complete the tree pruning and plant new trees. In April, irrigation is important, as is fertilizing and finishing. In May, diseases such as monilia should be controlled and freshly planted trees should be watered adequately.
The sweet cherry blossoms appear from mid-April, a little later, from the end of April/beginning of May the sour cherry also begins to bloom. The early flowering of the sweet cherry makes it more susceptible to late frosts, while the sour cherry is the most frost hardy of all types of fruit. Even though cherry trees are considered frugal and easy to care for, they still have a lot to do in spring.
