PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES
Regular 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 colour. Summer pruning the trees after picking is completed will improve the quality of the 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: Should be vigorous and frequent due to the high fruit set. Anyway more fruit should be left on the trees after each picking than for the «Zincal®-5».
