QUESTION WHAT ABOUT A CHERRY BUSH?
My 5 year old cherry tree got flattened during the night going into Mother's day Sunday by the brick wall between us and the neighbours suddenly collapsed. I just pruned it the day before. Thankfully we managed to get it upright again and so far it's holding itself up again. Fingers crossed I get something more substantial from it than just pips with a thin coat of flesh.
I super appreciate all of these fruit tree pruning videos! They have been really timely for me and my fruit orchard.
Cant wait to see the plots all fruited after all the work you put in last year
Are THESE pruned off limbs good to try and root ??
Hi Luke, I have a question, once a tree has been pruned to an open center, is there any way to grow it back to a 'central leader' ? About 6 years ago as a tree growing newbie I had followed advice from a University and pruned my trees to open centers, 2 plums & a cherry. I've regretted it ever since. Besides the production aspect, I'm also concerned about the aesthetic aspect, they're in my suburban front yard. In hindsight I wish I had kept a central leader & 'tree shaped' which I consider so much more visually appealing. Thank you š.
I am confined to just pruning the branches hang over my fence . The cherry trees next door have never been pruned in 40 yrs except the side I prune last 20;yrs.
ANY TIPS ON MANAGING SPROUT BRANCHES FROM OLD PRUNING CUTS.
I been looking all over for zone 5 cherries, they're expensive, where should I go?? east cental WI

Thank You !
My 8 year old cherry tree barely produces any cherries because in April right when it blooms it starts to snow for a few days.
Also it was heavily pruned every year by my old gardener friend who thinks he is an "expert"
This year I decided to not let him prune it anymore and just leave it alone.
Iām in the AZ mtns and my 3 yr old cherry trees are blooming now. Is it too late to prune them now? I had no idea how to prune them š”
I mostly grow vegetables, but I would LOVE to grow some fruit trees!
It would be interesting to see you prune a weeping crab-apple.
Awseome info, Luke. Would you show a close-up or tell us of where on the branch u are pruning & is it the same place for all trees?
1-3 inches above, below, or on the node?
Thank you in advance. ā¤ā¤ā¤š
Good video. However, I am looking at that tree and would have a tendency to want to remove the branch that sweeps to your right at the top- you called it main stem. I would think taking it back to just after the fork, thereby enabling the other branch to take over as the central leader would enable a more resilient tree that is not prone to breakage at the crotch. Just a thought.
thank you for the video Luke! now i want to see how you spray them, i saw you had a video about Captain Jack Deadbug to keep the pests away because as our cherry trees get bigger i won't be able to cover it up anymore š
Luke, thanks for the video. Iām ready to prune my cherry tree right now. I have a 8 year old dwarf cherry tree and it gets good fruit but definitely needs a haircut. But I get these insects that eat the leaves and put holes everywhere and fold the leaves together and stick them shut like a nest Iām thinking. What do I use for them and when do I apply it? Will BT work? Thanks
Will that angle of that central lead cause problems as it gets bigger? Is there chance of it breaking from weight?
PS thanks for the video. I have 2 cherry trees arriving in april!
Just a few hours too late, I pruned mine today. I think I did OK, but I'll need to go back and take off tips, I definitely don't have a pyramid shape.
These videos are really helpful.
How would you prune a bush cherry like a Nanking cherry?
The farm looks amazing.
