In this video, I’m walking through how we prune 22-year-old cherry trees using a pruning tower, breaking down the fundamentals of proper cherry tree pruning in a mature orchard. We cover why pruning matters, what we’re looking for in older cherry trees, and how good pruning decisions impact tree health, fruit quality, and long-term productivity.
I also show the pruning tower itself, explaining how it works, why we use it in tall cherry blocks, and what to consider when choosing equipment for orchard pruning. Whether you’re running older cherry trees, expanding an orchard, or just learning the basics of specialty crop tree care, this video gives a real-world look at pruning from the field.
If you’re interested in cherry orchard management, tree pruning techniques, farm equipment, or how growers maintain mature orchards, this video is for you. This is practical, on-farm education from a working specialty crop operation.
