Pruning in ber is done

Pruning in ber is done during Spring.
Pruning is done during the hot and dry season when the tree sheds leaves and enters into dormancy. In Tamil Nadu, the trees are pruned from January - April, in Maharashtra and Gujarat pruning must be completed by the April end and in Haryana by the May end.
Annual pruning in ber is essential to induce the maximum number of new healthy shoots which would bear good quality fruits. It is also essential to remove the undesirable, weak, intercrossing, diseased and broken branches to avoid crowding and to encourage healthy growth for maximum fruit bearing.
