Cherry 'Morello' Tree

Cherry 'Morello' thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry spells.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or diseased branches, thin out crowded areas, and shape the tree to allow light penetration and air circulation.

Common pests include aphids, cherry fruit fly, and birds. Use insecticidal soap for aphids and netting to protect fruit from birds. For diseases like cherry leaf spot and brown rot, apply appropriate fungicides and maintain good air circulation.
