Cut these to a point where another branch already is growing. They fruit on spurs, and we aren't concerned about the size of the fruit, so the major pruning we do to other stone fruits isn't necessary. It's important to know that cherries heal very slowly from large pruning wounds, so it's not a good idea to try to significantly reduce the size of a large, established tree. Persimmons have very strong wood and can hold large crops without breakage, and they are very ornamental trees, so we generally prune lightly if at all. You can prune very severely for size control and still get plenty of fruit, or you can allow them to grow into large, attractive, tropical-looking trees and get even more fruit.
Nut trees are very easy.
Pecans in particular need careful training to prevent narrow branch angles and limb breakage. For information on rose pruning , click here.
