What I am seeing on my cots is that it’s wood kind of have three years cycle: First year, new branches grow. Second, new branches bear fruit and produce spurs. Third, spurs bear fruit. (Possible fourth and fifth for additional growth of spur. After spurs have been exhausted, it’s time to cut down the main branch that has become blind and bears blind spurs, and allow a new branch to start a new 3-5 year cycle. When I saw Richard’s photo I thought most of his scaffolds are carrying blinded wood and may be has grown too tall, so it’s time for major renewal of fruiting wood.
