Bare root dwarf cherry tree question.

10 years ago

About 4 years old. Planted in March. How should we prune this tree? It is starting to resemble a scarecrow. Lol

    If you want lots of cherries then no pruning...these laterals you can tie to a trellis. You can top it at the top right horizontal branch if you don't want let it grow higher.

    Will it be in the pot?
