How to Grow and Care for Romeo and Juliet™ Cherry Trees
[plant_requirements]
Planting
Choose a sunny spot that will give your trees a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Although they will thrive in almost any kind of soil, avoid locations where the soil will remain soggy for prolonged lengths of time – choose an area with well-drained soil.
Please Note
These plants share the same pot while they’re growing in our nursery. While this is ok when the plants are young, we highly suggest separating them when they arrive to your home. To do this, simply separate the roots with your fingers, using the trunks to guide you, before planting them. This will ensure they get properly established in their new home.
When you’re ready to plant, dig two holes as deep as the root ball and about three times the width. Then, place your trees, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots. Finally, spread a layer of mulch over the surrounding soil to preserve moisture.
Watering
During the growing season, if your trees receive at least an inch of rain every 10 days, then no additional watering is necessary. If the season is hot and dry, then you may need to provide some additional water. The best way to water is by using a slow trickling garden hose left at the base of the tree.
If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down – if the soil is dry, it’s time to water.
Pruning
A year after planting your trees, prune during winter. Shape the trees to encourage horizontal branch growth with space between branches. And prune once a year as necessary to remove weak or drooping branches.
Fertilizing
Fertilize in the spring and mid-summer using nitrogen fertilizer twice annually, applying two weeks after planting and four weeks after the first application. Use a complete fertilizer such as 10-10-10 and follow the label instructions.
