Cherry trees can be rejuvenated
One can rejuvenate sweet and sour cherry trees, which have become old or weary of yield, through the targeted and expertly executed cutting measures. The associated renewal of the crown causes formation of new shoots, more flowers and better yield.
By rejuvenating the instinctual growth is encouraged, renewed the obsolete branch framework and fruit wood and the crown circumference are so far restricted that care and harvest are facilitated. The timing and technique of rejuvenation are determined by the nature of the crown design, the natural shoot growth of the crown, and the nutritional status of the tree. Low-growth and rich-bearing trees must be rejuvenated sooner than strongly alert and moderately pregnant.
part rejuvenation
Partial rejuvenation avoids the aging of the entire crown and the removal of older crown parts. Crowns that are kept in shape by regular cutting require a vigorous pruning to maintain their performance from time to time:
Total rejuvenation
In trees with natural crown construction, the crown is rejuvenated in advanced age, after the yields and fruit quality have subsided and the lower inner branches of the branches are shaved. Since the tree is supposed to replace the lost crown in a few years and has healed the not inconsiderable wounds, rejuvenation requires additional fertilization. Soil cultivation and irrigation must not be neglected during this time.
In order to put a forgotten crown back in order, a strong intervention in the branch framework is necessary:
Tips & Tricks
In the case of completely old crowns, the success of rejuvenation is questionable if diseases such as cancer, tree sponge, rubber flow, etc. have already spread and large parts of the crown have died.
