Water: Prunus 'Kursar' should be watered based on growth stages and local conditions. Water once before budding, then monthly until fall, ensuring thorough watering. Loosen soil and remove weeds after watering. Cease watering in autumn and winter to prevent frost damage.

Fertilize: Prunus 'Kursar' benefits from fertilization for healthy growth and fruit production. Use organic fertilizer, applying it twice yearly—before blooming and during fruit enlargement. Create a trench 38 cm (15 inches) deep and 28 cm (11 inches) wide around the tree’s crown for even application.

Pruning: Prunus 'Kursar' features vibrant pink flowers and blooms early. Prune in early spring after flowering to remove dead branches and improve air circulation, promoting healthy growth. Cut above outward-facing buds to maintain a balanced canopy and enhance overall plant structure.

Propagation: Prunus 'Kursar' propagation via grafting involves selecting healthy branches with 3-4 developed buds in mid-spring or using summer buds. Cut a T-shaped opening in the stock, insert the bud, and bind with plastic. After 10-20 days, remove the wrap once healed.
