Spring is the time when the trees blossom, and folk festivals are even held in honor of them in this country. The most beautiful and largest cherry trees with their delicate blossoms in pink tones of different intensities delight the festival visitors and really ring in the spring.
From mid-April onwards, the sweet cherry blossoms, a little later, from the end of April/beginning of May, the sour cherry also begins to blossom. The early flowering of the sweet cherry makes it more susceptible to late frosts, while the sour cherry is the most frost hardy of all fruit types. Although the cherry trees are considered frugal and easy to care for, you still have a lot to do with them in spring.
