Note that this only covers maintenance pruning for mature trees. For more information on training and pruning young trees see the reference below. Vase shape is most common, although many home orchardists prune dwarf trees with a central leader. Head back new growth to maintain size and shape of tree. Last year's growth will provide this year's new fruit spurs.
Fruit spurs remain productive for about four years.
Also remove unproductive growth. Cherry trees are usually pruned to maintain a height less than 20 feet. Spurs bare fruit for many years so they should be left alone. You are pruning to maintain size and shape, not to reduce crop size. Peach trees set fruit on branches that grew the previous year.
