Selection of planting land

Soil conditions

It's better to choose sandy soil or purple loam, which is very strong for its natural growth.

Illumination conditions

In addition to the above soil conditions, the planting land should also have good light conditions. Once the light is insufficient, the leaves of purple leaf dwarf cherry will show green, without the beauty they should have.

Topographic conditions

Purple leaf dwarf cherry can grow well in a humid environment, but it is not easy to get too wet, which requires that the terrain of the planting area should not be depression or too convex, so planting in the lawn is the best.

Water and fertilizer management

Purple leaf dwarf cherry likes to fertilize it more. Of course, this is also a certain dose. For newly planted seedlings, in addition to fertilization during planting, topdressing should also be appropriate in early spring and early summer during the growth period. Lack of fertilizer will affect the growth of purple leaf dwarf cherry.

Overwintering management

Purple leaf dwarf cherry is not a fragile plant, so if you overwinter, you only need to paint the trunk white. For seedlings, in the first year, the method of root soil cultivation and trunk surrounding grass should be used for overwintering management, and in the second year, the method of trunk whitening can be used.

Pest control

Purple leaf dwarf cherry is easy to be damaged by various diseases and pests during cultivation, so every winter, when the trunk is painted white, clean the insect eggs and cocoons, and spray some fungicides in early spring.

Shaping and trimming

Pruning is mainly aimed at disease and insect branches, dead branches, Cross branches, inner bore branches and over dense branches. After pruning, it can provide better ventilation and light transmission, which is conducive to the growth of purple leaf dwarf cherry.
