The cherry is a hardy tree that can adapt to different regions. It thrives in a sunny position protected from the wind, as the fertile organs of its flowers can be damaged at temperatures below -3°C.

For best results, cherry trees should not be planted at altitudes above 1000 metres. The best way to propagate cherry trees is by grafting, which promotes successful fruiting.

As far as pruning is concerned, it is important to note that cherry trees do not appreciate excessive pruning, which is also true of other stone fruit trees. Excessive pruning can lead to gum leakage, weakening the tree.

During the first few years of growth, it is advisable to reduce the length of the main branches by a third to prevent them from growing too straight and too high.

Pruning should take place in late August or early September, and it is essential to cover all cuts with a thick layer of healing putty to protect the tree.
