About soil condition, prunus subhirtella prefers humus-rich, well-drained soils, but it is quite adaptable to different soil types. It does not like wet or poorly drained soils. This tree is moderately tolerant of urban conditions.
So, like the other members of the Prunus genus, the subhirtella variety needs full sun to produce the most blossoms. It can tolerate partial sun, but flowers will be fewer and weaker. The subhirtella variety is a popular choice for home gardens because it is small and can be easily trained to grow against a wall or trellis.
The temperature condition of Prunus subhirtella is that it prefers warm weather and does not tolerate cold well. It is best grown in USDA hardiness zones 6-8. In the wild, it is found in China and Japan.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is 50% or less. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will start to yellow and drop off. The flowers will also start to wilt and the plant will become stunted.
About fertilizer, this kind of plant is (relatively/fairly) easy-going. It prefers a (balanced/moderate) fertilizer that is (well-/thoroughly) mixed into the (top/upper) layer of the (soil/substrate). A (good/fair) time to fertilizer is (once/twice) a (year/month), (in/during) the (spring/growth) season. When it comes to the roots, (Prunus subhirtella) is (relatively/fairly) (sensitive/tolerant). It (does/doesn't) like to be (moved/transplanted), so it's (best/recommended) to (find/select) a (spot/location) that (suits/works well for) it. The ( roots/plant) can (tolerate/handle) (slightly/dry) (conditions/spells), but (prefers/does best in) (moist/humid) (environments/areas).
Pruning a Prunus subhirtella, or any plant for that matter, is a very important process in the growth and development of the plant. It helps to control the plant's size, shape, and overall appearance. It also helps to keep the plant healthy by removing diseased or damaged parts of the plant. When pruning a Prunus subhirtella, it is important to use the proper tools and techniques to ensure that the plant is not damaged.
Propagation of prunus subhirtella is typically done through rooting hardwood cuttings taken from the previous year's growth. The cuttings should be taken from healthy, disease-free plant material and should be about 6-8 inches long. The cuttings should be taken from the lower portion of the plant where the stems are thicker and more woody. Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle just above a leaf node.
Usually, the plant growth rate during the spring and summer months. The average growth rate is 6 inches (15 cm) a year, however, some plants can grow 12 inches (30 cm) or more a year. Prunus subhirtella is a deciduous plant, meaning it will lose its leaves in the fall and winter.
Common problems for this kind of plant are black knot, brown rot, and shot hole. Black knot is a fungal disease that affects the twigs and branches of the trees, causing them to swell and become black and deformed. Brown rot is a fungal disease that affects the flowers, fruits, and leaves of the tree, causing them to brown and wither. Shot hole is a bacterial disease that affects the leaves of the tree, causing them to develop small holes.
