Particularly demanding in relation to climatic conditions, the cherry tree requires increased cold in winter (indicatively it is stated that it needs up to 1300 hours of temperature below 7 ^oC), cool summer, and most importantly, favorable climatic conditions during the flowering period, as its flowering buds are very sensitive to spring frosts. Double or twin fruits are common in areas with particularly hot summers. At the same time, very high temperatures at the end of spring, as well as rainfalls before harvest, can also cause the typical tearing of the fruits. Deep soils with good drainage and a pH between 5.5 – 8 are best suited for cultivation.
