Planting Directions

<h2>How to Plant and Care for a Romeo Cherry Tree</h2> <h3>Planting Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Location:</strong> Choose a spot with full sun (6+ hours) and well-draining soil. Romeo Cherries are cold-hardy and do best in USDA zones 2-7.</li> <li><strong>Soil:</strong> Prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Amend with compost if needed.</li> <li><strong>Planting Time:</strong> Spring or early fall is best for planting to give roots time to establish before harsh weather.</li> <li><strong>Hole Depth:</strong> Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. The root flare (where the trunk widens) should be at soil level.</li> <li><strong>Spacing:</strong> Allow 8-10 feet of space from other trees or structures to provide room for growth.</li> <li><strong>Planting:</strong> Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water well to remove air pockets. Mulch around the base (but not touching the trunk) to retain moisture.</li> </ul> <h3>Watering Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Initial Watering:</strong> Water deeply after planting, ensuring moisture reaches the root zone.</li> <li><strong>Ongoing:</strong> Water 1-2 times per week during the first year, depending on rainfall, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged.</li> <li><strong>Mulching:</strong> Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.</li> </ul> <h3>Fertilizing</h3> <ul> <li>Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring before new growth appears.</li> <li>Do not over-fertilize, as this can reduce fruiting.</li> </ul> <h3>Pruning</h3> <ul> <li>Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and shape the tree.</li> </ul> <h3>Pollination</h3> <p>Romeo Cherry Trees are self-pollinating, so you don’t need another cherry variety for fruit production, though another tree can increase yield.</p>
