Practical demonstration of sap/leaf sampling on fruit trees emphasizing how to select branches and leaves for accurate nutrient analysis. Key points: avoid branches with fruit (fruits skew nutrient readings), collect both old and new leaves from the same branch to correlate data, use fully developed/hardened leaves (avoid petioles), and keep samples separated and correctly labeled in different bags.
