Pruning cherry trees is generally the most suitable in autumn, because the temperature of the plants is suitable at this time, and pruning can promote them to grow new branches quickly and winter smoothly.

Cutting: select a strong mother tree, cut off the annual thick branches in the middle and upper part of its crown, cut into cuttings 30-40 cm long, and cut the lower part into oblique mouths. Choose the leeward and sunny position of the cutting bed, and pierce the cutting with a stick slightly thicker than the cutting, with a depth of 5-6 cm. Spray water after cutting, so that the cuttings are closely combined with the soil.

Prune the branches and leaves of cherry trees

1, Pruning cherry blossoms can be fixed first. When the plant grows to a suitable length, you can leave a part, the trunk, the rest can be trimmed, and the side branches below the growth can be cut off.

2. The reserved cherry blossom branches can be shortened by one third during the dormant period, and the branches of each trunk can be reasonably distributed. After growing for about two years, the branches will grow more and can be pruned continuously.

3. After the cherry tree seedlings are basically shaped, pruning generally only needs light pruning, and the formed trunk generally does not need to be shortened, and new branches are reserved, and flower branches generally do not need pruning.

Pruning skills of cherry trees

The growth of cherry trees is relatively natural. Generally, the tree is dominated by natural hearts. When pruning and shaping, light pruning is the main method, keeping natural tree shape, dense branches and even lateral branches.

After pruning the outgoing branches of cherry trees, the normal branches can absorb more water and nutrition, become strong branches and grow faster.

Pruning and flowering of cherry trees

During the development of cherry trees, the dead branches and yellow leaves must be removed at any time, otherwise the nutrients in the trunk will be wasted. Before flowering, cut short the dense branches and cut off all the pests and withered branches.

Matters needing attention in pruning cherry trees

Prune cherry trees during the growing period, and be careful not to damage the bark. Disinfect the wound immediately after pruning to avoid bacterial decay. Prune after flowering, observe the shape of cherry tree trunk, prune branches from inside to outside, and pay attention to keep the crown uniform.
