Because I am not an expert in this field, I may make mistakes. Please be careful. And I am sorry for my bad English.
There are three facts,
(i) There are two types of growth, "vegetative growth" and "reproductive growth". If a tree completes "vegetative growth", then "reproductive growth" starts.
(ii) A tree with strong vigor is apt to do vegetative growth. On the other hand, a tree with weak vigor is apt to do reproductive growth.
(iii) "Pruning" and "laying down horizontally a branch which is growing vertically" strengthen vegetable growth.
Therefore, in the case of Step Over style, a branch is laid down horizontally and strongly pruned back, indicating that vegetable growth is enhanced. Thus, if you apply Step Over style to a tree with strong vigor, vegetative growth becomes dominant.
From my experience;
a tree with strong vigor (When a tree is young, it grows without ripening, and even if the tree bear fruit, it tends to drop. When the tree becomes mature, it bears fruits.)
For example: Sucre Vert, Noire de Caromb,
a tree with neutral vigor:
For example: Violette de Sollies
a tree with weak vigor (bearing fruit even in the juvenile stage)
For example: Blanche D'argenteuil, Guilbeau French, Flanders, Quinta.
In the case of FMV, because the balance of the hormone in the tree is uncertain, determination of the tree vigor may be difficult.
p.s.
when "doumo" or "gozaimasu" is attached to "arigatou(thank you)", that is, "doumo arigatou",or, "arigatou gozaimasu", the expression becomes more polite. "doumo arigatou gozaimasu" is most polite.
You are a strong warrior!!
