Can black pearl cherries be propagated by seeds? What should be paid attention to when planting black pearl cherries?

The advantages of Black Pearl Cherries are that the tree has strong germination ability, can adapt to high temperature and high humidity environment, has strong resistance to diseases and pests, has large, kidney-shaped fruits, shiny, purple-red skin, crisp and hard flesh, relatively sweet taste, strong germination ability, large number of flowers, high fruiting rate, and is not easy to crack. It is a high-yield variety.

Can black pearl cherries be propagated by seeds?

Yes, this method can be called the real life method.

For seed seedling cultivation, we need to choose large, good quality, good taste, early maturity and good benefits. Remove the surface pulp, clean all the remaining pulp, put it in a ventilated place to dry, and then put it in a dry container and store it in the refrigerator for freshness. Cherries need a period of dormancy, and they can be sown in spring. For sowing, we need to sow in containers at a suitable temperature. The soil should be loose and breathable, and drainage should be done well to avoid water accumulation, but the soil should be kept moist. Put the preserved cherries in the soil and put them in a ventilated and bright place, which will help the cherry pits to germinate. After germinating into seedlings, they can be moved to a sunny place to help growth. When the climate and temperature are suitable, they can be planted. Note: This method of reproduction will result in a late age, the quality of the seedlings will vary greatly, and the probability of mature fruit will be relatively low.

What should I pay attention to when planting black pearl cherries?

It is best to choose sandy loam with a deep soil layer, strong water and fertilizer retention capacity, and convenient drainage and irrigation to avoid water accumulation. For young trees, it is necessary to strengthen the supply of fertilizer and water, use nitrogen fertilizer scientifically and rationally, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in appropriate amounts. The black pearl cherry orchard must be cultivated and weeded at least once a year. Pruning is also particularly important for fruit trees. Pruning should start from young trees, which can usually be done in summer. This can promote the increase of branches in fruit trees, make the tree shape more beautiful, and strengthen the overall tree shape. When it comes to the flowering and fruiting period, it is necessary to do a good job in controlling the crown to promote flowering, flower preservation, fruit preservation, and prevention and control of diseases and pests.

How to grow black pearl cherry seedlings by cuttings

Cuttings should be carried out in spring. In places where spring warms up early, they can be carried out in March. ② Branch selection. You can use healthy and high-quality branches pruned in winter, or you can cut and insert branches in spring. ③ The soil for cuttings should retain fertilizer and water well, be permeable and loose, have smooth drainage, and be flat. Apply enough base fertilizer and cover with ground film. Water the soil thoroughly before cuttings. Cut the branches to 20 cm in length and insert them into the soil so that the branches and roots are closely combined with the soil. There is no need to water after cuttings to prevent cooling and affect the rooting of branches. After the seedlings grow, water them appropriately according to the soil, weather and other conditions. In this way, the branches of cuttings will have high activity.

We need to choose branches suitable for layering, which should be long enough to touch the ground when pulled down. Generally, there are three ways of layering: ① horizontal layering, ② soil layering, and ③ buried trunk layering. Let me briefly introduce the buried trunk seedling method. First, prepare the ditch for burying the branches, and bury the disease-free and strong branches in the ditch. After the seedlings grow, soil management should be carried out to promote rooting. They can be cut in sections in autumn and transplanted in spring for grafting.
