I posted this to propose a question: And I hope for constructive feedback if I am off-base. I read that often we need to cut off leaves that are in the way of the fruit or perhaps damaged. I then see images where the leaf had been cut off at the base, and this leaves a huge "wound" since the leaf stalk had such a large diameter. But, if the leaf is cut off right at the very top, there is only a small diameter wound, and it dries and closes very quickly (see pic), thus minimzing chances for disease. Just a thought!
