When a tree has produced nothingl
but wood fer several years, the tenden1
Gy may be checked by judicious pruning.
This is done by opening trench around
the trees, at suitable distance from the
trunk. That distance must depend on
the size OF the tree, for the roots extend
nearly as far as the branches. The
trench should be from one foot to two
and half feet deep, according to the
size OF the tree, in order to admit of an
inspection of all the lateral roots. Some
persons cut the vertical, or tap.roots.
by striking a spade under the tree. but
1t is not advisable to cut these roots, as
they are anchors which hold the tree
firm in its place. In opening a trench
around tree, care should be taken not
to hack the roots; they should be cut
clean with sharp knife; making a
draw cut, the same as when pruning
the branches. Much damage is some.
times done to trees in pruning, by
hacking the roots with a spade, or cut
ting them too close to the trunk.
The best time for this kind of prun-
ing is in the fall, when vegetation ia
suspended. 1t may be done in the
spring before vegetation commences.
Some orchardists think that August il
the most appropriate month for this
work, bat the greater number prefer to
operate In the fall or early in the spring. .
Some persons do not open trench, but
merely cut a circle around the tree with
a spade-a very imperfect method of
performing the operation, as q great
many of the roots cannot be reached in
that way, and such as are reached, are
hacked, instead of being cut clean.
When the tree has been properly
root-pruned its disposition to grow
wood, at the expense of fruit, will be
effectually checked, and its energies
directed to the formation of fruit-bnds.
The tree having been deprived Of the
greater number of its fbrous roots bv
this method of pruning, will require
the application of manure to enable the
old roots which remain within the circle.
and the new ones which spring out
where the cuts have been made, to sus-
tain the growth of the tree and the
formation of fruit. A root pruned
tree, without the application of manure,
generally produces profusion of un-
productive blossoms or a large number
of very small fruits.
1t is good plan to fll up the circu-
lar trench which has been made around
the tree, with compost of such ma
nures as are best suited to the variety
of fruit that is being operated on. Bro
ken bones, charcoal, lime, ashes, plas-
ter, poultry manure, common salt, bits
of leather, dead leaves and twigs, ETC.,
will be found very beneficial to nearly
all kinds of fruit trees. Barnyard ma
nurs generally produces a rank growth
Of wood, but is not well calculated to
encourage the growth of fruit. Trees
heavily mulched with barnyard manure
seldom ripen their wood before trest,
and on this account are liable to dam
age from the rigors of winter. We
have seen the productiveness of geese.
berry and Currant bushes greatly in.
creased by root pruning, and filling the
trunks with the well rotted remains Of
