It seems related enough so it's hopefully not a problem if I quickly piggy back this thread instead of starting a new one.
I have this Dream atemoya/cherimoya I got a couple months back...pruned it significantly for it to branch out a bit more and plan on putting it the ground really soon.
Question on pruning these ...so I got a few more branches like I wanted, but there are these two leading shoots that shoot up about 3 to 4 feet vertically and seem pretty vigorous, almost constantly extending the terminal with new growth...
I think I remember reading somewhere about punching off the new growths to encourage branching ....would that help with this?
