Pro Plant Tips for Care
Plant Sweet Cherry trees in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. They need well-drained soil and a planting site with good air circulation, too.
Carefully select a planting site that gets morning sun for Corum to keep the foliage dry. Avoid the use of overhead watering. Drip irrigation is best to keep your plants healthy.
Plant 12 feet apart from pollination partners. These trees grow into an attractive shape, and can be allowed to grow to full height and spread.
You can also choose to prune fruiting trees in late summer to keep them under 10 feet tall. Decide on the height and spread you want, and tip prune to keep them at that size.
