Planting tips

They usually germinate within 15-20 days after sowing. Seedbeds may be mulched with paddy straw till germination takes place and partial shade may be provided during summer months.
A fertilizer dose of 750 g N, 325 g P2O5, and 750 g K2O per plant is recommended for cherry.
A spacing of 7.5 m x 7.5 m has been recommended for poor soils, and for rich, deep, and coastal sandy soils a wider spacing of 10 m x 10 m is prescribed.
The fruits will be ready for harvest after the fertilization of the flowers.
