Surinam Cherry
Hi all,
I recently purchased a very nice surinam cherry. It's about 7 years old. I will be keeping it indoors, when the weather warms I will put it outside. I know they like lots of light, like to be moist, and misted (especially in winter). Here are some pictures. I got it for $44.00, a great price if you ask me.
I have a question about pruning. I hear you can cut the leaves completely in half and the other half won't die (some of the leaves are exactly like this). Any thoughts here?
Notice the nice canopy - If I want to keep it roundly shaped, should I trim all the leaves like that, kind of like pruning a hedge? There is lots of new growth and I wonder if I should let it grow out for a few and then go about shaping the canopy.
If anyone has experience with these trees any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have looked online but there's not much info I can find...
