Hello all, i'm wondering if anyone has advice on best times to prune tropical fruit trees like jackfruit, citrus, and avocados? I actually live in a northern cold climate but my trees are inside of a heated greenhouse planted in the ground. I have about 10-12feet head space so I need to keep them pruned to a manageable height. Also if there are specific techniques for training them for shorter stature and good fruit production I would love to hear your technique. I have about 8'diameter x 10' tall of space per tree. Obviously they could be trained appropriately to cross each others drip line without causing issues, but thats why I'm looking for appropriate time to prune and if anyone has experience in keeping these types of trees in this height range.

Thanks,

Mike
