As can be seen in the picture, the first pair of leaves are gently opened out
and the new shoot is removed with the help of some tweezers or similar. The
first set of leaves are left.
(NOTE; species that have alternatively-spaced leaves will have only one leaf
open at this point and can be allowed to extend further to allow the retention of
two leaves).
The removal of these shoots will divert energy to the buds further back along
the branch, these will be allowed to extend to 3 or 4 sets of leaves before they
are trimmed back.
