#ProPlantTips For Care

You'll want to plant your Juliet Cherry Tree where it can enjoy plenty of full sun. At least 6 hours of sunlight a day for the best fruit and health.

Plant in a rich, moist, well-drained soil that is fertile and has extra organic material added. Water regularity, especially if planted in a container to protect your investment. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer. Add Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.

You won't want to miss out on the sweetest cherries you'll ever taste! These lovely berries bring home the Gold when compared to other varieties. In fact, they often score as the sweetest cherries with a 20-brix of sugar level!

Lucky for you, this lovely cherry bush is self-pollinating. Pair with her Romeo for a special garden romance of your own, only this romance will have a much better ending!

Shaping and size control of growth from that year should be performed with spring pruning, prune damaged, diseased and dead limbs that year annually while trees are dormant. Open the canopy to let sunlight and air circulation into the center of the tree by removing limbs that grow inwards towards the center in late winter.
