    I bought a cherry tree last year from Aldi. Lots of blossom this year and I now have little green cherries. I have just put netting over the tree. Should I be feeding the tree now with tomatorite or something similar? Never grown anything like this before.........quite exciting!

    Hi
    yes doesnt take long with cherry, early to net though normaly net just before they turn colour , you could give a tomoto feed once a week

    Ah right, something learnt yet again. I will remove the net for now and keep an eye on them. Thank you for your help.

    Green no, yellow yes, red - probably too late :heehee:

    If the tree is small then a feed would help. Once it gets too big it would be cheaper to buy cherries than feed the tree :D
