Certain things should be kept in
mind in trimming any tree. First, the
removal of large part Of the top
branches, usually in punches, while
tends to give rise to many slender
the stubs Of large branches often die
back some distance and make an un-
slightly top. II possible, tree should
be pruned SO as to appear pleasing
when the leaves are off as well as in
summer. II it is necessary to cut back
large branches. this should be done
Just above a smaller side branch, or
they should be entirely removed. The
severe heading back of large trees is
usually disastrous unless plenty Of
small branches are left to bear foliage
and enable the tree to recover quickly.
Tall growing kinds should be cut back
when young II the top is wanted low,
and some attention given each year
to pruning.
