Continuing the topic of summer pruning! Today’s episode is a follow-up to several key episodes from last year — especially episodes 10, 11, 12, and 21, 22. If you haven’t seen them yet, now’s the perfect time to catch up, as the summer season makes them particularly relevant. In those episodes, Mario introduced the basics of summer pruning — today, we go one step further. We’re working on a Pseudocydonia, but the real focus of this episode is one of the most common questions: how many buds should you cut back to? Mario explains the reasoning behind each decision, based on the tree’s stage of development, condition, and the result we want to achieve. This is an episode for anyone who wants to understand not just when to prune, but how much — and why.
