Strict following to rules of agrotechnology at change of cherry provides painless adaptation, the maximum survival and good productivity of tree in the future.
Instruction
1. Cherry is considered quite unpretentious fruit crop, however there is number of requirements which need to be observed: the cherry site has to be well lit with the sun and be on the height where there is no stagnation of water. However if trees have been planted too often, on the improper place or the allotment occupied with cherry was necessary for other needs, change is necessary.
2. Best of all change is transferred by young trees, their adaptation and restoration after replacing takes place more successfully, than at trees or bushes age is more senior than five years. Adult cherry after change can either die, or cease to fructify. For some grades, for example, for felt cherry, change is undesirable at any age: the fructification period at this grade is extremely small, and the most part of time tree will be occupied by process of restoration instead of fructification.
3. Optimum time for change is the period of the slowed-down sokodvizheniye: either in the early spring, or in the fall after leaf fall, but before frosts. Autumn change has to take place in dry, windless day and only after leaf fall completely ends. The tree has to have time stock before night frosts to adapt on the new place, to strengthen and restore the root system damaged at excavation. It is necessary to dig out adult cherry trees only together with earth lump, without stripping of roots, diameter of earth lump has to be not less than 50 cm, depth – about half a meter. Before excavation it is recommended to place on tag branches with designation of parts of the world. When landing to the new place cherry it is necessary to arrange, following these tags – it will provide the best adaptation of tree.
4. Spring change provides to tree the long period of restoration, however if in the spring dry and warm weather early is established, moisture and nutrients since high temperatures provide early sokodvizheniye and the beginning of blooming of leaves can not be enough for cherry. Therefore before change it is recommended to hold number of events for improvement of the soil: holes for change are prepared in advance, since fall, and in the spring in them introduce organic fertilizers. Fertilizers on the basis of nitrogen and lime since they can cause burns of root system are not recommended and worsen survival of tree. After change the tree needs thorough watering, the norm of water is about 2-3 buckets for one tree. After change the pristvolny area of cherry needs to be covered with mulch for protection against excessive evaporation of water. As material hay, sawdust, grass, the weeded weeds or specialized agrofabric will be suitable for mulching.
