When pruning cherry trees, we should use sterilized sharp scissors to prune the branches and leaves that grow too densely, so as to improve the ventilation between plants, cut off the dry and damaged branches and leaves and reduce the consumption of nutrients. After pruning, plant ash or disinfectant can be applied to the wound to help the wound heal and restore the normal growth of cherry trees.

How to Prune Cherry Tree 1, Pruning Method

Pruning cherry trees can be done by cutting, thinning and topping. Prune the new branches and leaves growing at the top of cherry trees to control the beautiful plant shape, shorten the branches that grow too long, stimulate the growth of side branches, prune the branches that grow too closely, and improve the light transmittance between plants.

2, pruning tools

When pruning cherry trees, sharp gardening scissors or wood saws should be used to ensure that the cut is smooth, not rusty and curly tools. Wipe the tool with alcohol cotton cloth before pruning to avoid bacteria pollution on scissors or wood saw after pruning.

3, wound treatment

After pruning cherry trees, plant ash should be applied to the wound to avoid tissue fluid overflow and plant nutrient loss, and antibacterial agents should be sprayed on cherry trees to avoid bacterial infection. If it rains, cover the wound with plastic film to prevent the wound from getting wet, rotting and blackening.

4, post-management

When managing cherry trees in the later stage, we should put them in a sunny and ventilated environment, keep the leaves green, water them once a week, and keep the environment moist. In the growth period of cherry trees, fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be applied to improve the growth rate of plants.
