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. Cut off more on younger plants. Take some of the fruit in June to give more quality to those remaining.
