🛑 Additional Information:::
Removal of any vegetative part in a vine is called pruning.
It is normally done once in North India during January – February.
It is done by heading back half off the mature shoots for fruiting and the balance half are pruned for renewal spurs, which develop into fruiting canes in the next year.
Best example is for-pruning which is normally done to encourage reproductive growth.
