One of the most popular cherries produced in California, this deep-pink variety is what you’ve been looking for. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coral Champagne Cherry Tree grows well in milder climates, \u003cstrong\u003ebecause it requires fewer chill hours than most cherry varieties.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most cherry trees need at least 700 chill hours - when temperatures drop below 45 degrees - to thrive. However, the Coral Champagne only requires around half of that time - only 300 to 400 hours in colder temperatures. \u003cstrong\u003eThat’s why this tree is able to produce a high yield of tasty, glossy-skinned cherries in warmer areas! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe moderately-sized Coral Champagne Cherry Tree is perfect for building your orchard or adding to your fruit tree collection.\u003c\/strong\u003e In the spring, the tree blooms with whimsical white flowers before sprouting picture-perfect cherries.

Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Coral Champagne Cherry prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade. Select a location that receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight per day for best results. What’s more, choose an area with well-drained soil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s three times the width of the root ball and just as deep. Plant your tree, back fill the soil, tamp down, and water to settle the roots. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor the first week, water your tree daily. In the second week, switch to every other day, then reduce to once a week after the first month. Check the soil often during hot weather—your tree may need extra water. In heavy soils, let the soil dry between waterings. Once established (after one to two years), the tree can usually rely on rainfall, needing only a few inches every 10 days. During hot, dry periods, add extra water as needed. The best method is to use a slow-trickling hose at the base for about 30 seconds once a week. If you’re unsure, check the soil 2–3 inches down; if it’s dry, it’s time to water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e A year after planting your Coral Champagne Cherry Tree, prune during winter. Shape the tree to encourage horizontal branch growth with space between branches. Prune once a year to remove weak, drooping branches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize in the spring and mid-summer using nitrogen fertilizer, ideally a complete fertilizer like a 10-10-10. Apply fertilizer two weeks after planting and four weeks after the first application or follow your package instructions. When applying, be sure fertilizer is six to eight inches away from the trunk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: In colder climates, avoid fertilizing after mid-summer to prevent new growth that won’t harden before fall frosts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y8IVXUphbFA?rel=0\" height=\"720\" width=\"1280\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860223013034,"sku":"12780","price":32.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":48860223045802,"sku":"12781","price":34.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":48860223078570,"sku":"12782","price":37.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":48860223111338,"sku":"12783","price":48.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/1w6diq5kz11n_d007ff6a-f6a6-4bbd-909c-1e3b9f25f775.jpg?v=1784865357","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/coral-champagne-cherry-tree-o8oj8d","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
