The present study was conducted at Experimental Fruit Orchard (Square 9), Institute of Horticultural Sciences, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan. Cultivars selected for experiment were 15 years old trees of Anwar Ratool, Samar Bahisht (S.B) Chaunsa and Alphanso. All experimental trees received similar cultural practices for fertilizers, irrigation and plant protection during the investigation period. Malformed and fruit carrying panicles (healthy panicles) and barren panicles (whose fruit dropped after betting with a pencil) were pruned on April 01, 15 and May 01, 2002. Panicles pruned in these dates were tagged and allowed to stay intact to study their vegetative and reproductive growth behavior. Significant results were recorded regarding month wise emergence of flushes, flush size and number of leaves per flush in these varieties.
