Tropical Fruit Discussion / To trim or not to trim Sapodilla Hasya
« on: November 23, 2014, 10:11:50 PM »
After reading some commentaries from forum members here, few days ago I got myself a couple of
plants, one of them is 15 gallon Sapodilla Hasya. For some reason, I picked the seemingly "vigorous"
one, which also has a few small flower buds developing in one branch.
After observing and contemplating of where to plant it for a couple of days, I think I need to do something
with that one middle branch that soaring out high by itself; almost 4 feet above the rest.
(Total plant height = 9 ft 3 inches)
My understanding is, in order to encourage developing more lateral branches, I need to trim this branch
to about even level with the rest of them. Am I correct in this assumption?
If so, when is the better timing to do it? Now, while it's still in the pot at this time of the year, or later, after
it has been in the ground for a while?
Thanks for any advice you can contribute.
