Training and pruning

    Training and pruning
    • The plants are trained to a single stem with scaffold branches produced at a height of about 60-90cm above ground, to facilitate for easy cultural operations.
    • Since the fruit bears only on current season growth, light pruning is necessary to encourage new growth.
    Flowering
    • The flowering starts after two years and generally commences with onset of mansoon (May to August).
    • Flower-bud production appears to occur between 15 and 18 days after pruning.
