Cherry Trees for Fruit

One of the best-known trees that produce berries is the cherry tree. Cherry trees grow in slightly acidic soil, preferring a pH of around 6.2 to 6.8. They dislike hot summers and need a period of cold during the winter in order to set fruit. The biggest pests will be tent caterpillars, which form big nets or tents on the trees and consume the leaves. Birds will also flock to the cherry trees and eat the fruit unless you pick it promptly or use barriers, such as nets, to keep them off the ripe fruit.
