I am digging and planting out a couple dozen evans cherries this week. I'll
take the advice given here on nafex this winter and plant most on a lean
hilltop (rather than the rich bottom land I had originally intended). I
bought them last year as tiny TC plants - now they are robust 2' high 3/4"
caliper bushes already. Impressive roots as well. Most have 2 to 3 main
and equal branches. I know they can be trained as small trees or as bushes,
all I care about is fruit production.
Question: With maximum fruit production in mind - how low would one be best
advised to start branching? or just leave as-is with the multiple stems at
near ground level? thanks much, Del........where the last of the ice just
left the pond and the frog choir has begun.....
