| Hi winker, Cherry trees, fruiting or ornamental, requires to be pruned after autumn and well before any frost is due. Target prunning is advised and certainly not topped. www.rsnz.org/publish/nzjchs/1993/48.pdf Try this link for some useful information.

| The paper you refer to appears to be specific to New Zealand. The answer to the question probably depends on just where you are, but in the UK the more usual advice is to prune cherries during the growing season. This is because of their vulnerability to silver leaf Chondrostereum purpureum. Pruning during the growing season leads to rapid sealing of the wounds with resins that reduce the likelihood of infection. |

| Spring / Summer would be optimum in our area. Often, homeowners (if hiring someone) can't really afford to pay arborists the extra travel, set-up and clean-up time that's added by splitting the pruning into smaller projects. Like cherry in summer, and dogwood in winter, etc.. For homeowners doing their own pruning, its easier and more affordable to micro-manage the pruning. |
