- Intervention effect Summer pruning positively influenced vegetative growth and fruit quality of sweet cherry 'Kordia' on Gisela 5.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning positively influenced vegetative growth and fruit quality of sweet cherry 'Regina' on Gisela 5.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning had no negative effect on the content of soluble carbohydrates in dormant shoots of sweet cherry 'Kordia' on Gisela 5.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning had no negative effect on the content of soluble carbohydrates in dormant shoots of sweet cherry 'Regina' on Gisela 5.
- Intervention effect Pruning to remove some major branches promoted better sweet cherry fruit quality than heading of annual shoots.
- Intervention effect Control sweet cherry trees had lower fruit weight and quality than pruned trees.
- Recommendation The authors recommend pruning 'Kordia' and 'Regina' trees on 'Gisela 5' annually to avoid blind wood and balance canopy F:LA for high sweet cherry fruit quality.
- Recommendation The authors recommend pruning 'Regina' trees more strongly than 'Kordia' trees.
