Production techniques:
PRUNING: choosing high quality flowering shoot is easy due
to the growth habit of the trees.Remove any new vigorous shoots
during the picking season to allow better light penetration
in the canopy and better fruit color. Summer pruning the trees
after harvest will improve the quality of the fruiting branches
for the next year. However, this pruning should not be too
severe at the same time irrigation should be reduced to avoid
secondary shoot growth.
FRUIT THINNING: the fruit should be picked once the new fruits
are well set. too early fruit thinning or in bad weather could
result in a sub-standard yield, and low production.
