Special Considerations: Prune when young to create an open branching structure that allows for even light distribution and more consistent ripening of fruit. Can benefit from cross-pollination with another sweet cherry (Prunus avium) or sandcherry.
Sweet Cherry Pollination Chart
When using the “Cherry Bloom and Pollen Compatibility Chart”, varieties within the horizontal rows will not pollinate one another, while the varieties in the vertical rows will pollinate each other. Self-fertile/Universal do not require cross-pollination to set fruit but can also be used to cross-pollinate other cultivars. Bloom period is an important consideration.
Example
Mid-season bloom period
SatinTM will not pollinate Van.
SatinTM would pollinate Bing, Rainier, Tieton.
Celeste, Santina, SelahTM, StaccatoTM, Stella, Symphony, SPC243, 13N0739 would pollinate SatinTM, Van, Bing, Rainier, TietonTM.
Cherry Pruning Quide
It is recommended that most stone fruits, apricots, nectarines, peaches and plums, in particular, should be pruned into an Open Center habit also known as a Vase Shape. This, however, is up to the grower as they can be successfully grown with a central leader habit or espalier.
An open-center structure keeps the tree’s canopy open to light, which is necessary for the development of quality fruit. This shape is beneficial in supporting the heavy fruit crops of certain stone-fruit trees since they generally have a natural outward growing habit. The majority of pruning occurs in the winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant.
NEW PLANTINGS
Young peach trees tend to be dormant, 3 to 6 foot whips with a profusion of side branches coming from the main stem. As soon as the tree is planted cut the main stem back to a height of 30 to 36 inches above ground level. All of the thin, weak side branches should be removed, but if there are three or four strong side branches that are well spaced around the trunk, retain them to form a framework. Side branches should have wide-angled crotches with the trunk and they should be spaced about 6 to 8 inches apart up and down the trunk. After about three years, the scaffold branches will be well established. During this establishing period, any damaged/diseased, water-sprouts, or branches facing into the center of the tree should be removed.
ESTABLISHED PRUNING
Prune one-third of new growth from the previous growing season.
Prune to completely remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs.
Prune to completely remove limbs that are growing inward toward the center of the tree.
Prune to completely remove tree suckers and water-sprouts whenever they appear – not just when the tree is dormant.
