Felt cherry

Among the many sections that you will see on our website, there is a description of the conditions for caring for, growing and fertilizing felt cherries. Despite the name, felt cherries are similar to plums. The homeland of the bush is China, and in our country it appeared only in the 19th century. The value of the plant is determined not only by its tasty fruits, but also by its high decorative qualities, high yield, and frost resistance. Gardeners also like to grow low shrubs because the fruits do not fall off the tree, which allows them not to worry about losing the harvest.

If you look at the photo of the felt cherry tree, it is obvious that the shrub can be used to create hedges, decorate borders and strengthen slopes. But such a good culture has a significant drawback - its lifespan is approximately 10 years. However, some gardeners manage to extend it by pruning. Before planting a felt cherry tree, you need to choose the right place. It should be well lit (shade or partial shade is not acceptable), the soil should be well drained and fertilized. An acidic soil reaction is not allowed; if it is present, liming is carried out.
