Onderhoudsinstructies
Nanking cherry requires full sun to partial shade and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme cold and heat.Oogst
Prunus tomentosa, commonly known as Nanking cherry, is typically harvested in mid to late summer when the fruits are fully ripe and have a deep red color. The fruits should be picked by hand, ensuring to handle them gently to avoid bruising. It is important to harvest regularly as the fruits ripen to prevent overripe cherries from falling to the ground. The plant prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure for optimal fruit production. Regular watering and occasional pruning to remove dead or overcrowded branches will help maintain the health and productivity of the tree.Bodem
Prunus tomentosa prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.Kunstmest
