Arbrex About us – Arbrex

Your Prunus Avium - Wild Cherry - will grow to a height of fifty to sixty feet and produces in late spring profuse white flowers. With regard to your tree Allen if it is looking healthy I am sure that it will produce the flowers next year. Prunus Avium along with the majority of flowering Cherries produce their flowers late springtime. If your tree grows too large the time for pruning is early summertime to avoid infection from Silver Leaf Disease. You will need to use a slow release balanced fertiliser Vasanthi and one of the popular brand products is Vitax Q4 which contains trace elements as well as the main nutrients. For more information on Vitax Q4 log onto www.vitax.co.uk You can also use Grow More which is also widely used or Fish Blood and Bone Meal.The fungus produces white pustules ofwater-dispersed spores from the edges of the lesions in summer, and airborne spores from small red structures in the winter and spring. Both can initiate infections, usually through wounds including pruning cuts. Damage left by falling leaves (leaf scars), frost, scab disease, and woolly aphid are also routes for infection.

BBC - Lancashire - Nature - Ask the gardener: Cherry trees

If it turns out that the tree is cropping well, restrict the pruning to cutting out dead wood and crossing branches in the first year. The next year do a little more and improve the light entrance into the centre of the tree. Without good light the fruit tree is unable to make good fruit bud.

I personally, would not take the risk of waiting until the summer months and have the limbs removed as soon as possible. To avoid infection from silver leaf, I would paint the cut limbs with a bitumin sealant which, can be obtained from any Garden Centre or DIY Store.

I would like to repot my cherry trees colt celest in bigger pots, is now the best time? What is the best compost to use? I live in the Channel Islands and the trees face south east, is this a good place for the trees? Bill replies... I have a 25 ft old cherry tree that produces only a few cherries. I don't think it has ever been pruned and is pyramid shaped. There are 2 main limbs but they are almost vertical. I would like to get some fruit and "top" the tree if possible. Can I do this now (February) or do I have to wait till the summer and how should I prune it. Bill replies... We are a global corporation that knows everything about the children’s toy and entertainment industry, and about children’s world. Your dwarf Cherry Tree Tabitha is a deciduous tree and if left outside will produce new leaves in the Springtime but by bringing your Cherry Tree indoors you have 'forced' your tree to come into leaf early and you will now need to keep your tree in a very light but cool position to avoid the shoots becoming drawn and etiolated and in the Spring - weather conditions permitting - placing your tree outside again.On no account try to remodel the tree all in one year. Old fruit trees do best when you bring on improvements gradually. In my experience an old tree reacts very favourably if 4 or 5 large branches are taken out rather than lots of little snips here and there. Cherry Trees come in all shapes and sizes Pam and quite a number of the larger species are very vigorous and the roots which are surface rooting, can be very troublesome if planted near a lawn. A lot will depend on what variety your Cherry Tree is. You mention your tree is conical shaped which suggests that it could be one of the dwarfer varieties and be far less troublesome. If you are still worried you could actually plant your Cherry Tree into a large container to offset this root problem.
