What to do if you do not bear fruit cherry
Cherry is one of the most popular trees growing at almost every garden plot. This is explained by its ruggedness, good tolerance of low temperatures, good recovery properties after freezing of scrap and, as well as good yields tasty and healthy fetuses.
However, there are situations where the tree ceases to bear fruit. Factors that affect it much enough, so you should consider some of them in detail.
Exposure to wood diseases
Understand that cherries can be susceptible to some external signs.
If the leaves were pronounced brown spots and pink bloom, the tree hurt cherry leaf spot.
In this disease the tree will be the following:
· Early leaf abscission cherries;
· Lack of fruits;
· Problem photosynthesis;
· Loss of frost.
To combat the disease must be carried out by treating wood with a solution of Bordeaux, copper or iron sulfate.
Late autumn is necessary to whitewash the trunk of a cherry and large females. Acceptable application of fungicides (Abig Peak, Horus, Atk).
Lack of fruit could be caused monilial burn wood. This fungal disease leading to early shattering.
In this case, the leaves and cherry shoots begin to dry up, and on the bark of a tree appear brown spots.
Methods of dealing with the disease are the same as in cherry leaf spot, except for the first stage - the complete removal of dead shoots.
Lack of nutrient
Lack of revenue in the soil of nutrients can adversely affect the ability of cherry fruit. Rules fertilizing cherry for each period of his.
In the spring it is necessary to feed the tree of NPK. During flowering suitable use of potassium sulfate and superphosphate.
After harvest can be added to the soil or wood ash compost mixture with superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
All of these feeding should be done after reaching the age of a tree in three years.
Problems with the soil
Poor soil can not create favorable conditions for tree growth. Excessive soil moisture caused by nearby groundwater also adversely affects the formation of the cherry fruit.
In this case, the roots will rot and cause problems of development of the plant. The solution is the construction of canals to divert water.
Another negative factor could be increased acidity. It can reduce by adding a primer to lime or dolomite.
Late pruning
If the cherry crown greatly thickened, then it is likely the lack of fruit. In order to avoid this, you need time to conduct sanitary pruning.
It implies the removal of dead, broken and diseased tree sprouts in early spring.
This will ensure the normal development of the young shoots and prevent thickening.
poor pollination
The key to a good crop of cherries is a cross-pollination of plants in the flowering period.
For this it is necessary to put several kinds of pollinators portion or crown of the tree planting in several shoots another class with the same period of flowering.
You can also attract insects land pollinating plants. To do this, put near the cherry bright colors or make bait out of the water solution of sugar or honey.
