Cherry Trees

[Qzy]

I have been able to source some bush trained Cherry Trees on Gisela 5 Rootstock (keeps them to 2m-2.5m in height generally it seems) and was wondering if there was anything in particular I should do to prepare the ground for them (arriving early Dec)?

The Trees are 1 each of Morello (for cooking and as a pollinator), Stella, Sunburst, Kordia and Regina (all sweet cherries)

Good luck with the cherry trees. Have read somewhere in the last few days something about it being difficult to keep cherries to a restricted form even on dwarfing root stock. I would prepare the ground as for any other fruit tree, nice big hole, plenty of well rotted manure and a sprinkling of blood fish and bone. Water well and keep watered for first year.

Cheers for that...
