Botany
French term or phrase: taille de fructification
This is in a certificate for a training course undertaken in France. The term appears in the course title 'Taille de fructification du pommier' and also in the sentence 'réaliser une taille de fructification sur divers vergers de pommier' but I am unsure of the meaning. Any help would be appreciated.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  philgoddard: All the hits for this appear to be translations, and most come from this company.

neutral  rkillings: Sometimes the simplest and most obvious translation involves a word that the OED flags as "(now rare exc. Bot.)" and "(? obs.)". The certificate holder probably wants something more practical and likely to get him or her hired.

pruning for fruit production


Explanation:
Or, "pruning to encourage fruit production"

From looking at Wikipedia and a Google search, it seems that "fruit production" is more commonly used than "fructification" or "fruiting."
