I have a question for you in statement form. Whatever is cut from a weeping cherry tree doesn't grow back right? For example, in the video when you cut part of the long slender branch off and said that the length you cut off was from one seasons growth, that won't grow back from the point you cut it right? I'm sure sprouts may grow off of the side of it though correct? I'm thinking about pruning my natural weeping cherry tree in the fall so I'm just asking now.
Generally no, it will not grow back. The new growth will come from buds which may be visible or latent (under the bark.) Always cut back to a healthy, outward-facing bud. If you have to remove a major branch, it may be best to cut clean back to (but not into) the branch collar.
What about new sprouts growing up at the top of the tree instead of dropping over .I'm new to this I got a small weeping pussywillow tree the other day
This fellow violates several current 'best practices' that are backed by research. It is best to leave pruning wounds uncovered and unsealed since they have been shown to heal faster. (ie. no paint or other wound dressing.) Leave no stubs! When cutting a significant lateral branch, cut it clean up to the branch collar. This makes for the smallest possible wound which will heal faster, and there will be no bizarre twigs. I stopped watching after that!
This man needs to be educated. Don't leave stubs to die back, cut to the branch collar or a node where there are cells to close the wound. He is leaving a wound that will never callus over and will always allow diseases and bugs entry. Second, DO NOT spray wounds!! Do some research.
Great tips thanks
This video was so helpful and full of tips! The close up of showing how to tell if your branches are dead was particularly helpful - thank you!
This is the video I needed. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for your video on an older tree. Most I’ve seen are young trees and not as helpful for overgrown older weeping cherry trees.
Thanks so much! Perfect.
Thank you for the video! I have a question for you: does weeping mulberry bare fruit on new branch or one-year-old branch please?
