Default Re: Only leaving a few leaves on mother plants?

Hi, I personally was doing this, I was leaving only 4 leaves and then used the rest as mulch, the plant will grow a bit faster but it gived me less fruit.
Now I only cut leaves that are sick or drying, the more healthy leaves I leave on the tree the better,
also I learn that keeping the soil moist will make the plant grow the fastest.
FYI Im on Zone 11
