Abstract

The most common and unwanted defect in the production of wicker is the ramification of the branches, as
it increases the lack of uniformity in diameter, increases of thickness, and promotes the loss of flexibility of wicker. It
also leaves marks when removed after harvest. The present research analyzed the effect of the branch cutting height
beside the insert point, over the second bud or over the fourth bud, with or without the deletion of the weak ones, on branching formation and yield. This was evaluated under field conditions in Bocaina do Sul, SC, Brazil, from 2003 to
2005. The cutting height of branches had no effect on either yield or branching.
