When to prune/cut back a small Oak tree and Cherry tree?
« on: 13 October, 2008, 11:12:18 pm »
In the back garden I have a small Oak tree, I think the previous owner was going to train it into some shape or other.  We've just let it be, but now it's about 10-12 feet tall and getting a bit lairy. It needs a severe pruning.
Out the front we have a cherry tree is a rough and wild state and that also needs some chopping back.

Question is, when, how, and how drastic?

Cherries are sensitive

The advice is to prune them after they have flowered.So I am waiting till June
