Pruning cherry trees can use light and short cutting method, which can cut off 1/5 of the branches to promote the chance of germination, or use medium and short cutting method, which can cut off the developing branches outside the backbone to increase the crown area. In addition, if the young trees grow poorly, they can cut off the vigorous branches to reduce the growth potential and develop the branches in a balanced way. Pruning method of cherry tree

1. Light and short pruning method

In the pruning method video of cherry tree, light and short pruning method can be used to cut off 1/5 of the branches on the cherry tree, which can avoid the top advantage, improve the germination rate, and increase the number of short branches, mainly horizontal branches and oblique branches.

2. Medium-short cutting method

Pruning cherries can also use medium-short cutting method to cut off 1/3 ~ 1/2 of the length of branches. For developing branches other than the backbone branches, medium-short cutting can promote 3 ~ 5 long branches, thus promoting the crown of trees, which is also very helpful for budding and flowering. At the same time, the dead branches and diseased branches are pruned together.

3. Heavy and short cutting method

If the growth of young branches is unbalanced, the heavy and short cutting method can be used to cut the branches with vigorous growth, thus reducing the growth potential and cultivating fruit. The back branches at the backbone branches can be cut short and the parts of the branches can be depressed, and the branches can be slowly released in the next year, thus cultivating fruit branches.

4. Extremely heavy and short cutting method

Extremely heavy and short cutting method is to leave only 4-5 bud points at the base and thin dense branches. For branches with flower buds, you can choose to keep them, and then thin them after the fruit is picked, which can enhance the effect of lighting and ventilation, and at the same time promote the growth of cherry trees.
