Prune _COMMON_NAME_ after the fruit matures by cutting off the stem and the leaves above the second-largest leaf at the top of each branch. This can stop the plant’s stems and leaves from continuing to grow, reducing upward growth and promoting reproductive growth. Flowers or fruits that grow too densely will compete with each other for nutrients. Poorly developed flowers and small-sized fruits need to be pruned to allow the plant to provide sufficient nutrients to fruit production. Inadequate pruning could lead to the fruit dropping, or an overall failure of the fruit to mature.
