Best Way to Care for Your Cherry

We Often Get Asked What's The Best Way to Care for Your Cherry.

No. 1 Problem/Culprit: Water

You will kill your cherry quicker with too much water than not enough. If you're trying to establish a lawn and a weeping cherry at the same time our advice is "DONT". The lawn will require a lot of water and the cherry doesn't. We aren't saying this can't be achieved, we recommend do the lawn first and wait for the cherry.

No. 2: 2 Prune or Not 2 Prune

This is all about what you want out of your cherry. Pictured RIGHT is a cherry we pruned in winter back to 6 inch slems - and this is taken 8th Jan just 6 months later. However we didn't have any spring flower on it. LEFT is one we didn't prune. The foliage is smaller/much but the display we had in spring was amazing.

If you're trying to shape + resize - PRUNE PRUNE PRUNE
If you're happy and love the flowers - LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE
As we had a colder than normal spring this year, the cherry slug has been sluggish (like what I did there). Normally keep eyes peeled December + February but this season now (Jan) keep eyes open.

It's easy to get rid of. Success (pic) is what we use.

Garden Releaf 2021

14 Mar, 2021
Get in a garden, get healthy, have fun Garden Releaf is a way to connect people and communities with the health and wellness benefits of plants, gardens and gardening. Garden Releaf Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of living greenery in your life and sees garden centres across Australia coming together with ideas, information, inspiration and events to encourage you to celebrate the joy of colour, plants and gardens to enrich our lives. Since 2015, garden centres and industry suppliers have raised over $330,000 for Beyond Blue through Garden Releaf. Spot on Pots and Nursery are joining in on March 21, 2021. Spending time in a garden has numerous benefits to a person's physical and mental well being. Garden RELEAF was established to encourage everyone to spend more time in a garden. It's not about just about digging and toiling; for some it's about simply enjoying everything a garden has to offer; fresh healthy produce, beautiful, invigorating fragrance and textures, clean air, lush foliage, flowers and natural beauty. In addition to knowing that people now are focusing more on improving their health and well being we sadly know that 3 million Australians are living with depression or anxiety. garden RELEAF is dedicated to raising awareness of how being in a garden or simply enjoying the produce from one can benefit us all. We aim to encourage more people to get out and enjoy a garden for their own health's sake and where possible to take someone else with them. Spot on Pots and Nursery will have Kombi for a Cause coffee and The Hippie Whippy ice-cream onsite. The HiveMind Community Apiary official launch at 11am. 'Lil Monsters Face Painting from 10 - 12. Discounts, competitions, raffles and activities (bring your gold coins to join in and support Beyond Blue) Everyday expert advice and quality products.
