Early spring is also prime time for pruning young cherry trees, shaping and training the young tree before it blossoms. Pruning should begin as buds emerge, but wait until all chance of extreme cold temperatures have passed to avoid possible cold injury, as younger trees are more susceptible to this.
Prune young trees to one central leader. If the tree has multiple branches heading up, remove all of them except the one in the center. Use a pruning saw to remove competing leaders where the branch diameter is greater than one-half inch. If the diameter is smaller, use a garden clipper.
