Définition :
Taille qui repose sur l'action des pincements courts effectués sur rosettes. Elle constitue une véritable modification des possibilités naturelles de fructification puisqu'il s'agit d'obtenir le développement de dards et d'organes fructifères à partir d'yeux qui, normalement, resteraient latents. Cette taille est pratiquée uniquement en cours de végétation.

Special form of spur pruning named after Monsieur Lorette and applicable to apples and pears only. Side growths from the leaders only are pruned during June, July and August as they attein pencil thickness at the base. They are cut back to a length of 1/4 in., that is right into the basal rosette of leaves. At the last pruning in August, side growths from other parts of the tree are also dealt with in like manner. Shoots which are not of pencil thickness by mid-August are tied downwards. Leaders are shortened by one third their length in late April. No winter pruning is done.
Note :
The technique is often referred to as "the Lorette method of pruning".
