Cherry needs to go through a dormant period during its growth, which can store nutrients for the differentiation of flower buds in the second year. In the south, there is less low temperature time, so it is difficult for it to have sufficient nutrients to bloom and bear fruit. Therefore, when planting, you should choose some varieties that require low cooling, and at the same time, apply more fertilizer at each period to provide it with sufficient nutrients. With proper care, cherries can also be cultivated in the south.

1. Is it suitable for planting?

Cherry is widely distributed in the north and is also cultivated in the south. Because it needs a long-term low-temperature environment during its growth process. Help it enter the dormant period to accumulate nutrients in preparation for flowering and fruiting. In the south, the temperature is relatively high in winter, which can easily shorten its dormancy period. This leads to a lack of nutrients during the growth period of the plant, resulting in fewer flowers and smaller fruits. However, there are also some varieties that require low cooling and are suitable for planting in the south.

2. How to raise it well

1. Variety selection: Most cherry varieties require a long period of cold environment to store nutrients for dormancy. But there are also some varieties that require less cooling, such as black cherries, yellow lantern cherries, red concubine cherries, etc. Although these fruits are not large, they taste very sweet and can adapt to the southern climate.

2. Build a shelter to avoid rain: cherries usually grow in 5- It matures in June, which is often the rainy season in the south. Exposure to rain will not only reduce yields, but may also cause disease. Moreover, cherries are very afraid of waterlogging and need to build shelters to avoid being exposed to rain.

3. Improve the soil quality: Cherries are suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil, while the soil in the south is sticky and easy to harden and harden. You can choose sandy loam soil for cultivation, and loosen the soil regularly, but do not damage the roots.

4. Supplementary fertilizer: Due to the short dormancy period of cherries in the south, , less nutrients are stored, and more fertilizer can be applied to provide nutrients for flowering and fruiting. Apply more nitrogen fertilizer during the early flowering period to promote flowering and flowering. During the blooming period, spray urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves to increase the fruit setting rate. After picking the fruits, use quick-acting compound fertilizer to supplement nutrients to prepare for the differentiation of flower buds in the second year.
