I am pruning very severely in one of my beds. I have never seen it discussed here but I am pruning off all limbs that are not suckers and leaving all growing tips. I have no idea what the outcome will be however I have 50times the blossoms and all seem to be setting fruit. Possibly just smaller fruit or maybe they will never ripen.I dont know, Just a small experiment in one bed to see the outcome from doing it different. Plants are definitely more open for air circulation and maybe less disease. We will see.Plants all 4 to 5 ft tall and appear very healthy and loaded with fruit and flowers.
