The experiment was carried out at the existing plantation of Hill Agricultural Research Station at Khagrachari during 2021-22 to find out the pruning method for maintaining tree size and impact of pruning on yield and quality of coffee. Coffea canephora (syn. Coffea robusta) commonly known as robusta coffee from the existing coffee orchard of HARS, Khagrachari was selected for the study. All treatments produced higher yield than control treatments. Maximum yield was found in P3 (9.14 kg/plant) followed by p5 (8.86 kg/plant). On the other hand, control treatments produced lowest amount of coffee per plant. All treatments showed higher yield than control treatment. Yield increased maximum 49.7% found in P3 treatment over control. In a nutshell the present finding shows that pruning increase yield potentiality of old coffee orchard.
