The flowering time of Nanking cherry is not only affected by climate, but also related to the growth of fruit trees. Generally, the trees with weak growth and relatively large flowering time are earlier. In addition, the flowering time of the same tree is not exactly the same. Generally, the flowers on the short and bouquet like branches open first, and the flowers on the medium and long branches delay slightly.

When it blooms, it should pay attention to the maintenance methods, especially the problem of watering. If the methods are not put in place, it will lead to falling flowers and can not bear normal results. Watering is best before flowering, which can promote the growth and development of flower bud, but the amount should not be too large to avoid affecting the growth of root system. In addition, we also need to make up fertilizer. It only takes less than two months from flowering to fruiting. During this period, we should make up fertilizer frequently. We can use special fertilizer for fruit trees. If we have enough nutrients, the fruit can grow bigger and more.
