Why Homeowners Love It

• Self-pollinating, so you need just one tree to produce a full crop
• Firm, flavorful cherries with natural crack resistance stay fresh and beautiful
• Low-maintenance once established, requiring minimal water and care

Planting & Care

Plant your Santina™ Cherry Tree in nutrient-rich soil amended with compost or organic matter. Water daily for the first week, then gradually reduce frequency—every other day in week two, then once weekly after the first month. Established trees need only a few inches of water every 10 days, or rely on natural rainfall in temperate climates. In late winter, remove any dead wood and weak branches to encourage strong spring growth. Test your soil before applying a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring, and avoid over-fertilizing.
