He addresses the processes of induction, release and manipulation to improve tree growth and performance in warmer climates. The presentation highlights strategies for controlling late-season growth, which is essential for maintaining next season’s reserves, and techniques for managing light to improve the quality of fruiting wood and overall tree health.
