Planting Directions
<h2>How to Plant and Care for a Juliet Cherry Tree</h2>
<h2>Planting Instructions</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Location:</strong> Choose a spot with full sun (6-8 hours daily) and well-draining soil. Juliet cherries thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).</li> <li><strong>Spacing:</strong> Space trees 6-8 feet apart to allow for air circulation and proper growth.</li> <li><strong>Digging the Hole:</strong> Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.</li> <li><strong>Planting:</strong> Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root flare (where the trunk meets the roots) is level with the soil. Backfill with soil, tamping it down gently to remove air pockets.</li> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for the first few weeks.</li> <li><strong>Mulch:</strong> Add a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.</li> </ul> <h2>Care Tips</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Water deeply once a week, especially in dry periods. For new trees, maintain consistent watering during the first growing season.</li> <li><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10). Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent excessive leafy growth.</li> <li><strong>Pruning:</strong> Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches. Thin the center for better airflow.</li> <li><strong>Pollination:</strong> Juliet cherry trees are self-pollinating, but planting another sour cherry nearby can boost yields.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Harvest:</strong> Expect cherries in early to mid August when fruits are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.</p>
