What type of soil is best for my Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree?

Your Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree will require a minimum of 4 hours of full sunlight each day, we think 6 to 8 hours of full sunlight will make your flowering cherry tree grow the best. Even though this tree loves direct sunlight, partial shade will not have a negative impact on the growth or health of your tree.
How do I plant my Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree?
Dig a hole that is three times as wide and equal in depth of the root ball. Position the tree into the hole making sure it stands upright and the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill the hole and remember to lightly tamp down as you fill the hole. Water the hole to allow the soil to settle and avoid any air pockets that may have formed. Finally, apply a 3 to 5-inch layer of mulch around the tree to help enhance the soil and preserve moisture.
What type of fertilizer is best for my Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree?
Any slow-release fertilizer will be best for your flowering cherry tree. It will require new fertilizer once a year in the early spring, before new growth emerges. Be sure to water the surrounding soil to allow the fertilizer to penetrate into the roots the best it can.
