Agriculture | n. phr.
the pruning of young olive-trees whose aim is to shape the definitive form that trees will grow into.

Example

A good pruning is necessary to have a good proliferation of fruits of our trees. It is for this that on our young trees we give the formation pruning, to give them a good shape, then kept on the matured tree with the production prunings. The rule is that the branches of the tree are light, exposed to the sun and that air circulates among them.
