Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting in the pruning of a plant (10) implemented by an electronic apparatus (21), comprising the following steps: a. equipping an electronic device (12; 22; 32) comprising a display area (16; 26; 36), and a camera (18; 28; 38); b. taking at least one image of the plant (10) to be pruned using the camera (18; 28; 38) of the electronic device (12; 22; 32); c. using a machine-learning engine (30) previously trained with training data to determine cutting instructions; and d. displaying the cutting instructions on the display area (16; 26; 36) of the electronic device overlaid over the real image of the plant. The invention also relates to a system (40) for assisting in the pruning of a plant which is intended to implement the above method.
