Maintenance advice : At the end of winter, cut down any incumbent branches, to ventilate and maintain a harmonious and balanced form. Shorten any branches too long at a young age and then every 4-5 years to rejuvenate. For trellised forms, in summer, reduce spring shoots by 2/3 in length, leaving 5-6 leaves per branch, and at the end of winter cut down any twigs of more than 15cm long to just above the third bud from the base. Prune a bit longer on younger subjects. In June cut off some of the fruit to envigorate the rest and guarantee a good size.
