What your doing is actually called the Miami Mango technique. I believe he usually will just leave the two leaves at top, but only to watch out for defiencys.

Wow. That is Soo cool that I am inploying an actual technique without knowledge. That was the over all intention, to force a hern or just make a better fruit. Trying to be a good tester I guess.
Thanks for the information, an share much appreciated.
