Topping should be done when the plants grow to a height of 1 to 1.5 meters. Timely topping is beneficial to the branches and can also prevent excessive growth. During the growth period, trim side branches and be sure to retain two or three branches and leaves to avoid affecting flowering. After the fruit is harvested, old and yellow leaves should be cut off to save nutrients and promote recovery as soon as possible. In addition, pay attention to disinfecting the pruning tools to avoid infection. Change the maintenance method slightly after pruning, and then manage it normally after recovery.

2. Prune side branches

Usually, lateral branches need to be pruned in the early stages of growth. Be careful not to cut them again and keep two or three branches so that they will not affect growth and flowering. This method will also need to be followed when new branches and buds grow later.
