FRUIT-TREEs WITH Low TORS
There can be no advantage of having a
trec-top twenty feet high, with the ex-
tremitics Of long, slender branches
AS rule, fruit trees should be low
headcd-so low that when the fruit be-
gins to bear, the branches will reach to
the ground. Dwarftrecs, in particular,
should be trained with low heads. 1t
gives us great pleasure to see that this
matter is already understood in this
country. The late planted orchards and
the nurseries, too, afford evidence of
this, so that we can find but one opinion
among the more intelligent cultivators.
For the pear and cherry, this is still
more essential than for the apple, be-
cause these trees are more delicate In
general, and INJURIES arc more fatal to
them. For both these trees we prefer
the conical form, whether on dwarfs or
free stocks, not because the trees in that
trunks and large branches can be more
eif'ectually protected. The trees Of fin
er pears are all easily injured by freeZ-
Ing and thawing in the bark, which is
smooth aud thin; but If the trunks are
well fcathered with branches to the
ground, they will lseldom be injured.
1t should be always borne in mind that
the trunk of the tree is the main chan
mel Of circulation. When it Is injured,
circulation Will be impedcd and irregll-
lar, and general debility will quickly
follow. Some people argue that this
training Of the trees as low standards
and pyramids is both expensive and
unnatural. The low standard requires
no more pruning after the tree is plan
ted than the high one, and it is just as
natural, and more so, for the tree to
branch at three feet from the ground
than ut eight feet. The conical form
does require some pruning at first to fix
the habit that is to secure prepOnder-
ancc Of vigor and size for the lower
branches. When this is done 1t be-
comes natural, as most pear and cherry
trees. If left to themselves In abundant
space, will assume the conical form
voluntarily.
