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 the plants each winter so that all new growth is reduced to two or three new buds. This will keep the vine in check and force better fruit production. Prune any time after the plant has entered dormancy, up to almost the last frost in your area. Late pruning may delay the onset of spring budding by a few days. Keep the wood pruned off the top of the vine. After four or five years, remove some of the fruiting branches to force new wood.
