Growing cherries on the Home Ground __ "Growing cherries in home plantings is
frequently very disappointing. The foliage and fruit are susceptible to injury
by several insects and diseases, making several timely spray applications
necessary to produce sound fruit. Birds frequently consume the fruit as it
begins to color, but before it is fully mature, and covering the tree with
cheesecloth or other netting material is the only effective method of saving the
crop from them. All of these factors render growing cherries in a home garden
very disheartening! However, all of these problems seem minor at the first
cherry crop." Learn how to select trees and take care of them. - from

Tips to growing Evans and Rose Cherry __ "These cherries are not heavy feeders
and really do not want a lot of fussing. They prefer heavy or sandy soils. If
you are growing them in rich soil, underseed them to grass. The grass draws down
the moisture levels and ties up some of the ample nitrogen. Many gardeners kill
cherries, and many other fruit trees, with kindness. Cherries are not native
plant material and like apples, they do not get the photoperiodic message to
shut down like Saskatoons. If you water cherries into August and September, just
like apples, they will grow lush and look great. Wrong!" - From DNA Gardens Ltd
