Mango Varieties & IdentificationHow does pruning history affect the use of canopy shape for identification?
Describe recent pruning and training before comparing a tree's outline with a cultivar reference. Record natural branch direction where it can be observed, distinguishing it from the silhouette created by repeated cuts. Include photographs of the framework rather than only the outer foliage. Canopy habit remains useful descriptive evidence, but an intensively shaped tree should not be compared uncritically with an unpruned reference specimen.
