I am continuing to build up my property after taking a break after burnout last year (I spent 2-3 months of intense yardwork to prep for a wedding plus my regular gardening and home remodeling).
I have purchased a Stella Cherry tree. This is my second time purchasing a cherry tree and want to make sure I’m doing everything right to make is survive. It’s full size is up to 30′ tall with a 15′ spread. The one i have coming is 4-5′ tall.
I have a spot in the front yard I plan to put it that has more dappled sunlight than it does direct sun. I amchoosing thos due to the heat and the other trees can be thinned out later on.
My soil is horrible so I always amend my holes.
Anything special to really give this tree a fighting chance?
I plan to use strawberries as a ground cover.
I’m also bring in 2- Pecans, 2- figs, 2 hardy kiwi, 2- goji berries, 2 thornless raspberries and 2 blueberry. Also got some asparagus and rhubarb (advice on this would be great too) to put in. I only had 3 of 20 asparagus crowns show up last year.
We already have 3 peach trees, 2 nectarine trees, 1 apricot, 3 apple (one is crab apple), thornless and wild blackberries, pear tree, and wild elderberry.
