Sweet cherry is quite thermophilic and exacting to the place of growth, its cultivation time can represent complexity. The special attention is required by change as in this case the plant has stress and can die.
It is required to you

Instruction
1. Sweet cherry – traditionally southern culture, it is relative of cherry. Differs from it to high straight lines shtamby, arrangement of branches on trunk. At sweet cherry lighter color of bark, other form and color of leaves, differs also taste and also the chemical composition of berries.
2. Sweet cherry is very exacting to structure of the soil, also she prefers well lit, sublime sites protected from cold winds. Trees of sweet cherry grow quite high therefore it is necessary to plant them according to the scheme of 7х5 m, avoiding thickening. Quite often gardeners do not consider this circumstance and land sweet cherry more often than it is recommended in reference books. In such cases there is question of change of adult trees.
3. Almost always it comes to an end with failure. The reason is that adult sweet cherry very much does not love damage of roots and branches, hard transfers change and grows hardly. It is possible to replace only young trees, is not more senior than 2-3 years. In this case change is made in the early spring, prior to the beginning of sokodvizheniye.
4. For this purpose the necessary sapling is prepared in the fall: dig out it from bed where it grew, together with earth lump, trying not to damage root system, and trench in to the earth horizontally. It must be done in order that from temperature drops bark was not damaged in the winter. It is necessary to choose the flat site without stagnation of water where there is a lot of snow in the winter.
5. The landing hole needs also to be prepared since fall, to fill it with humus and peat 1:1, to add 100 g of full mineral fertilizer. When landing it is necessary to remove sick roots of sweet cherry; to smooth out the damaged places sharp knife and to powder with wood ashes.
6. Roots it is necessary to have in landing hole accurately, trying not to allow their damages and twistings. To cover emptiness with earth in half with nutritious mix (peat and humus 1:1), at the same time it is important not to bury root neck. It is desirable that she acted over the soil on 6-8 cm. Subsequently at soil consolidation the tree will settle, and if the neck is buried, then sweet cherry will stop in growth and can die.
7. After change it is necessary to trample down properly the soil, it is abundant to water tree (4-5 buckets of water) with addition of 10 ml of heteroauxin, and to zamulchirovat surface of landing hole layer of peat or humus.
8. After change it is necessary to truncate branches on 1/5 from their length to improve survival of roots. Then it is necessary to strengthen tree, having tied it to pegs in such a way to protect it from wind gusts.
9. In case it is necessary to replace adult tree of sweet cherry, it is necessary to work similarly, but it is worth to remember that the landing hole in that case has to be not less than 70х70 cm that the earth lump was located in it entirely. At the same time the risk of unsuccessful change is rather high. To avoid it, it is necessary to approach carefully preparation of the soil and to water tree at least 1 time in 3 days on 3-4 buckets until it does not grow.
