I trimmed the sides, but it's growing upward to compensate and now it's too tall for me to pick some of the hairy red scrotum fruits at the top. What to do?
Any tricks to make it grow sideways but remain short? Trim the whole top off? Wire guide the new branches? Anchor rope the new branches?
It's an old tree, I don't think it could survive the trauma of a full top trim.

Poor cold water on it and see if it shrinks
You can just say rambutan
What a scrote, shave it off evenly from everywhere
Try r/marijuanaenthusiasts
Common guys, no ideas on how to make it short and compact?
so depending on your seasons there are good and bad times to prune trees. if you prune in dormant periods they tend to grow more after, if you prune after growth but before the fruit rippens they dont. it depends on the type though.
hi I work in utility forestry! would you mind posting a few more photos of a better angle to see how it is actually touching the power lines? Power lines are not insulated if you touch them they can electrocute you. Minimum approach distance (in the USA for a non qualified arborist) is 10 feet. Please hire a line certified arborist to do the work safely. this is not a diy job
How is this the way I find out the name of these in English ? 🤦🏼♀️
Look up step-over apples. Typically done with very young trees but perhaps similar methods scaled-up would do the trick?
So jealous those are expensive
Prune after fruiting
