Hi, farmer from India. I would like to know the spacing maintained between trees and rows. What is the ideal duration between two pruning and what do you do the pruning waste?

[@wilfredelimeleki4543]

Spacing you can use 3 x 3 M or 2.5 x 2.5 m.
Pruning duration it depends on your tree.Anytime you can visit your farm.
pruning waste you can spread to the field.Keep moisture and soil nutrient

*Good decision removing competing leader!* Otherwise maturing tree would have said "Y" didn't you prune me when I was still young, ha. Subordinating or heading back competing branch, and letting tree deal with problem on its own, could have been another option. Especially if tree was already over 15 years old. _Wow, now I have seen my first Teak tree. Thanks!_

I think with knife/machette not good for pruning
