Correct pruning of cherries is very important. With its help, you will restrain the rapid growth of the tree. Shoots are usually cut off in early spring before the buds swell on them. By the way, if your tree is more than 5 years old, then its branches are cut only as needed. For example, this should be done with diseased branches, which are then trimmed and treated with putty.
