Pro Plant Tips for Care
Plant your Lambert in full sun and well-drained soil. It should thrive with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. The more sun, the better!
If you need to improve the drainage of your soil, create a raised bed or mound. Add additional soil to 18 inches high and 3 feet wide. You’ll plant directly in that mound.
Ensure that the planting site has plenty of air circulation for the best results. Don’t plant too close to structures or in low-lying areas that might trap air.
Morning sun will quickly dry off the overnight dew. The drying power of the morning sun keeps your plants healthy.
Provide a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Mulch to a depth of 3 inches and spread to 3 feet outside the canopy.
Sculpt your fruit trees with horizontal or 45 degree angled scaffolding branches. Careful management will improve the health and productivity of your tree.
Summer prune your Cherry trees to keep them under 10 feet tall. This is called size control pruning, and it makes harvest and netting for birds a lot easier.
