Cherries are very tolerant of soil type, so an open site, and good cultivation of the ground when you plant will be all that is required. You can add some bonemeal at planting, to aid root growh, but more important is a well prepared planting pit, and a good watering in. Re the strawberries - a strawberry tree is something entirely different, and the fruit isn't yummy! (although very pretty). But strawberry plants, available fairly soon in garden centres, are best in acid soil, and I've done them in sacks full of coir compost (ericaceous), much like a growbag method. They cropped well and long. Worthy

i think its a bit strong planting your granddaughter to be quite honest what ever the soil type norjan lol x .
