Pruning cherry trees at different times of the year has varying effects and requires specific techniques. Dormant pruning typically occurs from mid-November through late March of the following year, lasting about 140 to 150 days. It's best to prune as late as possible during dormancy, ideally when buds are approaching the middle or late March. Pruning too early can lead to prolonged wound drying, increasing the risk of damage in the following spring, which may hinder growth or even cause branch death.
During dormancy, the main goal is to shape a high-yielding tree structure and develop strong fruiting branches. The areas pruned mainly include one-year-old branches and young perennial ones. Common techniques involve short cutting, slow release, and shrinking to control growth effectively.
Growth period pruning usually involves thinning or shearing after shoots have been picked and harvested. It's important to consider the characteristics of each cherry variety. Sweet cherries tend to grow upright with vigorous saplings and weak branching. Their fruiting branches are often clustered, and the tree’s vigor may decline after heavy fruiting. When pruning young trees, it's advisable to moderately shorten them to encourage branching and increase fruiting branches. A central leader should be maintained during shaping, with careful thinning and proper branch opening to avoid competition.
Once the tree enters full fruiting, soil and water management should be improved, and light shearing is recommended to promote growth on top of the fruiting clusters and rejuvenate the tree. Large purple cherries have an open growth habit, strong branching, and their fruiting parts tend to spread out easily. After heavy fruiting, they maintain vigor better. During the sapling stage, dense or overly vigorous branches should be removed, while moderate branches and weak ones should be lightly pruned to encourage leafy growth.
During shoot growth, it's important to pinch the tips to suppress excessive growth and encourage branching and flowering. The tree shape should be natural and happy-shaped. During shaping, maintaining balance between branches is crucial. Divergent or uniaxial extension forms are suitable for twigs, and attention should be given to developing fruiting twigs on both sides of the pedicle. Once the tree is fully productive, light pruning at the apex of main branches and on two- to three-year-old fruiting shoots helps rejuvenate production. Results should be directed outward, and if backbone branches become weak, they should be pruned back to stimulate latent shoots and allow partial renewal.
To remove dense one-year-old branches, cut them off at the base. For older branches, make clean cuts to ensure quick healing. Avoid leaving stubs, as they can delay recovery and lead to wood decay. Also, avoid upward-facing wounds, which can result in poor healing and negatively impact the tree’s health.
