摘要

Cherry growers are beginning to adopt dwarfing rootstocks and plant trees closer together, as apple growers did earlier. When applying water and nutrients, growers need to keep in mind what the root systems are like, Dr. Denise Neilsen said during the International Fruit Tree Association's annual conference in British Columbia, Canada.
