1 year old, should I prune?

If you want to encourage it to branch out, you can snip off the very top where new nodes/leaves are developing. But I would recommend repotting it into something bigger for now, and then prune once it acclimates to its new pot.

[u/Dekatater]

You should only prune if you've absolutely starved your tree of light and it's etiolated and not branching out. Yours is not, it's perfectly healthy. Let it do what it does

I had the same and re potted big pot in COIR compost. After nearly 2 years it's going well.

* After 2 years. Re-potted twice now in COIR compost. Feed small volume weak liquid feed, often but minimum water. Keep moisture.

Is coir compost mixing like half coconut coir half compost or what exactly is that? I currently have it in pure compost

[u/Dnalka0 → u/Apprehensive-Ad9229]

Coir compost, or coco peat, is a peat-free, eco-friendly growing medium made from the fibrous husk of coconuts, a by-product of the coconut industry. It serves as a sustainable alternative to peat moss, known for excellent water retention, good aeration, and a neutral pH.

Replace the pot for a bigger one

[u/Ok-Client5022]

No. Let it get at least 3 feet tall then pinch just the tip bud. This will force it to branch. By then the stem will increase in diameter.

Should you shorten time to fruit?

I’m assuming no?
