Cherries are borne on short fruiting branches (spurs) that grow on 2-year-old wood. The spurs are very long-lived and often continue to bear for 10 years or more. Prune lightly, thinning out weak, crossing, or dead twigs and branches.
Harvest when the cherries are fully colored. With ripe cherries, the stem will easily separate from the spur when the fruit is gently lifted or pulled. When picking cherries, avoid damaging the spurs.
