This review article focuses on the dangers of improper trimming or pruning in guava plants as well as the significance, schedule, intensity, and results of pruning in relation to plant age, season, and aftercare. In more densely planted orchards, pruning will need to be done more severely. After pruning, a broad-spectrum fungicide can be applied to control any fungal infestation from environmental humidity. Physical work or a pruning machine can be used.

Plants are initially trained from the very first year. Pruning should be done at a certain level for each cultivar and planting density. To achieve the intended effects, vegetative and reproductive growth must be balanced. Regarding fruiting of the following season, pruning intensity is crucial. It guarantees preservation of the typical carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio). In developed countries, timely and appropriate pruning is a major factor in the production of high-quality fruit by enhancing vitamin C content, total soluble solids, sugar content, titratable acidity, and maintaining uniform fruit size.

The orchard’s life and harvesting period are extended by proper pruning. It is a key cultural and management method in sustainable orchard production. Dept.Pruning is essential in fruit culture for long-term guava production.
