Weeping Cherry Tree Care
Newly planted trees need plenty of water, at planting time and throughout the growing season. To ensure beautiful blooms, keep your tree well watered. A layer of mulch, applied beneath the tree at planting time is beneficial to keep the roots moist.
These trees grows best in a sunny spot. A spot that is a bit wet works well for these cherry trees.
Pruning
Pruning should start while the tree is young to maintain it's shape. Trim branches that grow to long (branches should not touch the ground.) Any suckers that grow should be removed. Pruning is best done in the Fall.
Fertilizing
You should fertilize in Spring with
Shrubs Alive!TM Fertilizer for Trees and Shrubs. This organic fertilizer will give you the most beautiful blooms.
