Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade, with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball, then place the bush in the center and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. 2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first year as the plant establishes. Water deeply once a week, or more frequently during hot, dry spells. 3. Pruning: Prune the bush in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy growth and maintain its compact shape. Remove any dead or crossing branches to promote air circulation and fruit production. 4. Fertilizing: Feed the cherry bush with a balanced fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for application rates. A second round of fertilizer can be applied mid-summer to support fruit development.
