In the video "How to keep birds away from your fruit trees?" he tells us to put water, but we must not forget that mosquitoes will lay eggs in it, so he should think a bit more especially as we don't have just that to do, changing the water every day, we already struggle to water our plants regularly, thank you.

Description

The alternate Dwarf Garden Bing® Cherry Tree is a variety that reaches a height of 1.50 m (5ft) at maturity, ideal for small spaces. It offers easy-to-pick fruits with a bright red skin and firm, sweet flesh. Flowering begins in late March. It is a self-fertile variety, not requiring any association with another variety for pollination. The Dwarf Cherry Tree can be grown in both pots and open ground. Planting is preferably done in autumn for a harvest in June.


The alternate Dwarf Garden Bing® Cherry Tree produces round fruits with a bright red skin and firm, sweet flesh. Enjoy them immediately after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams, and preserves. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements.

The Dwarf Garden Bing® variety is originating from the United States. Starting from late March, the Dwarf Garden Bing® Cherry Tree is covered with small white flowers that appear before the leaves. This variety is self-fertile and does not need to be associated with another variety for pollination. The Garden Bing® variety is harvested in June. The harvest can be more or less abundant depending on the year and may exhibit an alternate phenomenon, allowing the shrub to replenish its reserves.

The Dwarf Garden Bing® Cherry Tree (Prunus avium) belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a medium-sized shrub that reaches a height of 1.50 m (5ft) at adulthood. Like other Cherry Tree varieties, its ternate, toothed leaves are shiny and dark green, then take on a lovely reddish hue in autumn before falling. The Dwarf Cherry Tree can be planted in a pot, on a balcony or terrace, or in open ground to enhance a flowerbed, for example. Hardy, it tolerates cold weather well but should be protected if grown in a pot.

Planting and care

Easy to grow, the Cherry tree thrives in all types of soil, acidic or chalky. It prefers moist, light soils and dislikes heavy, clayey soils. Choose a sunny location. To limit the risk of late frost on the flowers, it is recommended to plant the Cherry tree in a sheltered position, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience spring frosts. Planting is preferably done in autumn. If you plant multiple trees, space them 1m (3ft) apart for dwarf varieties.

Loosen the soil deeply, remove stones and unwanted weeds. Add some sand to improve drainage. Dig a hole 4 to 5 times the volume of the root ball. Make sure to separate the subsoil from the topsoil. Mix crushed horn or well-rotted compost or potting soil with the subsoil and pour this mixture at the bottom of the planting hole. Install a stake. Place the root ball, cover with topsoil and firm it down. Water generously (about 10L). Tie the stake to the plant, crossing the tie in a figure-eight shape, without touching the trunk.

During cultivation, watering is not necessary except in case of high temperatures. Mulch around the base to retain moisture in summer. Protect your harvest by installing, optionally, a bird net, aluminum foil or old CDs. In case of aphid attack, spray with soapy water.

For container planting: place a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Add a layer of soil and then place the plant and cover with a mixture of 2/3 garden soil, 1/3 potting soil or well-rotted compost. Every spring, replace the top layer with fresh potting soil. Water regularly and moderately. At the end of autumn, protect the pot with insulation before winter frosts.
