Cherry blossoms grow naturally. Generally, the tree is mainly natural and open. When trimming and shaping, light trimming is usually the main way to keep a natural tree shape. Dense branches, many lateral branches and symmetry are required.

Pruning methods of cherry blossoms

Pruning of cherry blossoms can be done first. When the cherry blossoms grow to a suitable length, you can keep a part, leave the trunk, cut off the rest, and cut off the lower growth side branches. The dormant period can shorten the reserved branches by one third and distribute the branches of each trunk reasonably. After growing for about two years, more branches will grow on the trunk and you can continue pruning. Keep the trunk, thin the branches, and adjust the side branches according to the master-slave relationship. After the seedlings are basically shaped, pruning usually only needs light pruning. The formed trunk generally does not need to be cut short, and new branches are kept, and the flower branches generally do not need to be trimmed. After several years of growth, the crown will expand more and need proper retraction. Prune the middle and lower branches of the main branch to germinate the lower part again, and cut off the side branches with lower branch points year by year.

Precautions for Pruning Cherry Blossoms

Before pruning, attention should be paid to loosening the branches that are too dense, and topdressing should be carried out after pruning. Prune during the growth period, be careful not to hurt the bark, and disinfect the wound in time after pruning. You can apply disinfectant to the wound to prevent bacterial infection and decay. After pruning, observe the shape of the cherry tree trunk and prune the branches from the inside out. When pruning, prune the branches that affect the ornamental, and pay attention to maintaining the symmetry of the crown.
