Why Buy From Indiana Berry
Information
Selected and introduced by E.M. Meader of the University of New Hampshire, these hybrid cherries have similar characteristics. They all ripen in late August and early September, They have a distinctive flavor that is somewhat of an acquired taste but could be enjoyed as a fresh fruit.
Planting Site
Bush cherry grows well in full sun to partial shade, in moderate to well-drained soil.
How to Plant
Dig a hole approximately 12” wide and 6” deep. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil and water thoroughly. The top of the potted portion of the plant should be slightly lower than the top of the hole. Be sure that the potted plant is completed covered with your native soil or it may act as a wick and cause the roots to dry out. Some plants may benefit by replanting in a larger pot and then transplanting to the ground in the fall.
Fertilizer
All purpose fertilizer can be applied April and June.
How to Prune
Prune in late winter early spring any dead damaged limbs.
