Planting & Care

1. Planting:Plant your Santina Cherry Tree in organic soil, manure, or compost.

2. Watering: For the first week, water your tree daily. In the second week, switch to every other day, then reduce to once a week after the first month. Check the soil often during hot weatheryour tree may need extra water. In heavy soils, let the soil dry between waterings. Once established (after one to two years), the tree can usually rely on rainfall, needing only a few inches every 10 days. During hot, dry periods, add extra water as needed. The best method is to use a slow-trickling hose at the base for about 30 seconds once a week. If youre unsure, check the soil 23 inches down; if its dry, its time to water.

3. Pruning:Remove dead branches and weeds in late winter to promote future growth.

4. Fertilizing:Get your soil tested before fertilizing in the early spring. Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer and be careful not to over fertilize.

5. Pollination: This variety is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit. However, planting multiple Santina Cherry Trees together willhelp to produce a higher yield.
