Cherry trees are a little more particular in their requirements than apples, pears and plums but have so many attributes they are so well worth the extra care involved and with a few handy pointers can give great results and are very rewarding to grow.
While summer can mean enjoying rain now and then, don’t assume that it will be enough to keep the trees in top condition. Be prepared to water the trees at least a few times a week. While it’s fine to skip a day when it’s rained, don’t allow the trees to go more than three days without some sort of water.
