Pruning Trees

[Emina]

I really don't get the point of decreasing tree q because of picking branches and bark. Trees have been gimped enough as it is, don't add insult to injury. As it is now, I'm not picking branches at all. It makes more sense just to chop the tree and turn it into branches.

He he , yes it should actually be the other way around if anything.
In real life fruit trees give better fruit if you cut some twigs and braches in the spring and autum,
most bushes and trees need some cutting now and then to stay healthy.

Absolutley agree.

Dude, you may not have inteded that as a suggestion, but it aint half bad imho - pruning ftw.

Before I get flamed, I'm not suggesting that you should be penalised by reduced tree q if you don't prune, I'm rather saying that you should be rewarded if you do.

The current system (assume OP suggested) stands, but if a farmer (skill) prunes (need tool) a tree at whatever refreshed intervals (option 'prune' again available on radial / once per tree grow phase?) the tree q might improve by (SQRT(q at that phase/2)-1)(?).

How about that then?

Edit: Potjeh, apologies for high-jack, but assumed your suggestion to be approved, case closed.
