According to the expert, it is extremely important to adhere to mandatory, but very easy to implement ideas.

Take note

You should remove those shoots that grow vertically upward.

As a rule, the purpose of such branches is to thicken the crown, so it is better to remove them. They will not bear fruit.

Shoots growing to the sides, but inside the crown, should also be cut off, because they also thicken the crown, making it dark and almost opaque.

It is best to leave only those branches that point outward and slightly upward. They are often not too long.

Such shoots are capable of bearing fruit very well and productively.
