Pruning

Fruit trees must be pruned twice a year to increase the quality of the fruit. Passionfruit and Choko vines also need pruning. The best time to prune anything is after fruiting finishes. Do not prune from December – March as this is the hottest time of the year and leaves and bark of trees may get sunburnt. You can safely prune off 1/3^rd of all plants. Pruning will encourage new growth and most fruit is borne on the most recent growth. After pruning always fertilise and water in well.
