Cherry growing involves cultivating cherry trees, which thrive in well-drained soil and require full sunlight. These trees typically bloom in spring, producing beautiful flowers before developing fruit. The growing season is crucial, as cherries need a specific balance of warmth and moisture to ripen properly. Harvesting cherries usually occurs in late spring to early summer, depending on the variety. Sweet cherries are often picked when fully ripe, while sour cherries can be harvested slightly earlier. Proper care, including pruning and pest management, is essential for a healthy cherry crop and optimal fruit quality.
