Tree Density, Hedging, and Topping
... light intensity. One aspect of higher density plantings is that they require hedging and topping to maintain good light interception. In mature citrus groves that are not hedged regularly, insufficient light and increased shading promote a thin canopy and reduction in fruiting on the lower parts of the tree. Factors that affect light interception in a mature ...
