I was driving down a road, and noticed, a mango tree with mangoes on one side, and flowers on the other.
at one point in time, the power company had cut back that side of the tree due to its proximity to power cables.
This got me thinking, could it be possible to extend the harvest of a tree just by staggering the after harvest pruning? in other words, lets say i have a big productive tree, after I harvest the fruit, I could prune 1/3rd or the tree, then wait 2 weeks, and prune, a 2nd third, then, a couple weeks later to finish it off. in the hopes that the next year each part of the tree would produce flowers at different times.
or will climate triggers over ride this?
anyone experiment or have any experience with this?
