• I have a cherry tree in my garden, which needs a haircut. My only experience of cutting trees is cutting them down so I'm not too sure about the finesse of a prune. In other words I don't know what I'm doing.
    Without wishing to put any tree surgeons' noses out of joint, is this a job that I should pay to have done or can I DIY it?
    If the former, what's the ballpark cost?
    If the latter, any tips?

    Cheers!

    (edit: ignore the brickwork -that's also on the to-do list)

  • Cherry trees are fucker as most grow large and my understanding is that they shouldn't be pruned. My dad killed one much loved by child me from pruning.

    I think you're looking at around £750+ for a pro.

  • Whatever you decide to do, cherries (and all stone fruit) must always be pruned in summer.
