I'm experimenting with two Johnson Cherries in cages, two tied overhead, and two allowed to sprawl to see which I prefer
The two tied to a sort of pergola are taller and likely easiest to pick. The caged ones are brats, and seeking escape (I'm using waist-high cheap cages) It's a bit too soon to gauge...no ripe fruit yet and fruit set seems to actually slightly favor the "abandoned" babies. In a couple of weeks we will be overwhelmed with cherries. The no-care babies are easiest now, but probably be a pain to harvest.
No suckers pruned aside from one that snapped as I tried to wrestle it out of the path.
