When Should I Prune A Cherry Tree

When should I prune a cherry tree is a question often asked by our customers

Customers often ask “when should i prune a cherry tree” as many find it difficult to find a reliable source of information. Which is why we have provided this blog to give you our professional opinion on the subject.

In general it would be more beneficial to the cherry tree to be pruned after leaf budding in the spring or before the leafs drop nearer winter. 

A few reasons for this are the cherry tree will have all summer to heal from the pruning wounds, along with less pathogens present during the summer months. In winter the tree will rely on the stored energy built up over summer months. It will not have much spare stored energy for unexpected winter pruning wounds, leaving the wounds exposed for longer which can lead to infection and loss of branches or even the death of the tree.
