Thank for video do you have any advice for spaying a cherry tree from worms?

[@growtolearn4545]

Hi Aleksey, if you're talking about anything on the tree bark or under, try using NEEM OIL. Give it a good spray down, make sure its on a dry day because its an oil so it needs to go on a dry surface. you can also repeat after week or two. If you are referring to a cherry fruit fly larva/worms, then you have to set up sticky traps for catching fruit flies and as soon as you get one then you know they have emerged and are mating, that is about in the month of may. The female fly lays the egg in the cherry that is starting to ripen. Start spaying at least once a week with MONTEREY GARDEN INSECT SPRAY all the way until a week or two before harvest. Hope this helps. Thats what i would use

What time of year is best to cut the branches from the tree?

[@growtolearn4545]

Hello there. 👋 now is a good time , or any time the tree is dormant.

[@chadabbott2027]

you said you took your scion wood from the base of the tree that could be the root stock not the variety your after

[@growtolearn4545]

Hi Chad. Yes you are correct, there is a possibility of taking a cutting from the rootstock, but I meant at the lower part of the tree just below the scaffold branches still at the top of the trunk. Good call though 👌

Why are you using so much plastic wrap?

[@growtolearn4545]

Not necessarily need to, you can use less.
