Answer #1

Plant cherry trees at the same depth the individual tree was set in the nursery or its container. Leave the graft or bud union above ground, but by no more than 1 ½ - 2 inches.

Cherries love full sun and need maximum exposure to produce quality yields. Before planting a cherry tree, try to imagine the tree full-size so that you know in advance that it will not end up growing into an area that is shaded.

The amount of water cherries receive during the first year within planting can be a make-it or break-it factor. Cherry trees require a sufficient amount of water during their initial year to live and grow. It is much better to water thoroughly on a weekly basis than to water lightly on a daily basis. Light waterings promote shallow root grow of the cherry tree’s roots within the top few inches of soil and lead to the soil and roots drying quickly in need of even more frequent watering.
