Pruning is essential operation for the production of quality and quantity fruits. From the finding, it is found that the number of secondary and tertiary shoots were maximum with 50% intensity and 20th April timing which gave maximum fruit yield. However, plant height and canopy spread were not much affected by the time and severity of pruning. The stem diameter was recorded maximum with 25% intensity and 20th April timing. Similarly, 25% intensity took less time for sprouting than the 50% and 75% pruning intensity. Further, April pruning took less time in sprouting than the May pruning.
