el mismo procedimiento se describe aquí en inglés:
Young trees will grow to over 1 metre before they start to push out branches. To develop a strong trunk the trees should be allowed to grow to over 1 metre in height initially. They are then cut back to a height of between 0.6 to 0.7 m.

In this reference the "nudo" is called the "ring of buds".

an 80-100cm cane
This is the technical word.
With autumn-fruiting varieties the fruited canes are cut back during the dormant season.
Cut the canes back to around 2/3 of their length

: Cane is certainly used in this context for a lot of fruits (raspberries, blackberries, etc.) but I'd check to make sure it is for mangoes.

Me parece que es mejor usar la palabra twig, ya que branch se refiere a una ramificación y considero que cane (no estoy del todo seguro) se usa sólo para las monocotiledóneas.
