Northstar cherry tree pruning #866071

Asked April 27, 2024, 10:06 AM EDT

I have a North Star cherry tree that is 15 years old and has not been pruned. Can I still prune it this month or is it too late. Thanks Eva

Cherry trees don't require much pruning. Although it is a bit late, it would be ok to prune your tree now. However, heavy pruning might reduce yield.
