How to Prune Tibetan cherry?
(Prunus serrula)
Tibetan cherry, also known as Ornamental cherry, Birch-bark tree, Japanese flowering cherry
Known for its glossy, mahogany-brown bark and white blossoms, tibetan cherry is best pruned in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and promote vigorous growth. Thinning out old branches and removing any dead or diseased wood enhances light exposure and air circulation. Careful attention to cutting just above outward-facing buds encourages a pleasing, natural form. Avoid excessive cutting back to prevent loss of the characteristic bark display.
