What are the methods for dealing with water sprouts during the fruiting period?

For jujube trees that have entered the fruiting period, the expansion of the canopy gradually slows or stalls, and the main and lateral branches of the canopy gradually become horizontal or drooping. On the arched back portions of the main and lateral branches in the middle of the canopy, upright-growing vegetative shoots often sprout, possessing obvious apical dominance, so they grow very quickly. If water sprouts and vegetative shoots are not controlled or removed in time, the branches at the front end will age and die, while also seriously affecting ventilation and light penetration, causing the interior of the canopy to become shaded and closed, and the inner branches to die from insufficient light. These water sprouts must be removed promptly. The method is, each year from after leaf expansion to the flowering period, to continuously remove buds and thin out branches 2 to 3 times, clearing or controlling the water sprouts, so as to keep the tree structure from becoming disordered.
