PRUNING FRl'IT TREES
Nursery grown trees are
produced under conditions which

crowding.
The planter at planting time
should have in mind the natur-
al form and habits of the plants
and should therefore use the
knife so as to bring about re-
sults which will allow the tree
to assume its normal shape.
Generally the most successful
fruit growers habitually prune
their trees and in doing so usu-
ally follow more or less closely
some plan or system. While
different details need to be con-
sidered in pruning different
kinds of trees.
The principle object sought in
pruning may be summarized as
follows: To keep the tree shape-
ly and well balanced, to make
the tree more stocky, to open it
at top to admit air and sunshine

be sure to remove labels. Bet-
ter drive a stake with name or
kind of fruit, at the end of each
row than to leave lable on trees.
The label should be removed as
soon as they are planted or they
should be so fixed that they can-
not tighten and cut thru bark.
I have seen a good many tree^
killed by the labels. They were „
ncglected until the fast growing
tree forrced the wire to cut thru
the bark.
