FAQ

Our leaning Stella Cherry Tree had many rotten cherries last year. How and when should it be pruned, and can cables or wires help straighten it?

Cherry trees are typically pruned in the summer but deadwood cleaning, safety pruning, and thinning could be done in the winter. The rotten cherries are probably a result of wet, humid weather causing increased fungal disease infections. This can possibly be treated for by a preventative fungicide spraying in the spring. Secondly, it can be possible to straighten the tree using stakes and wires. It does depend on the size, condition, and location of the tree.
