The Most Common Error.

The most common error is to neg
lect the pruning until the tree has
become ill-shaped. and then to at
tempt by the drastic method Of cut
ting OFF many large limbs or the en-
tire trunk to give 1t the symmetry and
beauty desired.
Such methods seldom bring the de
sired results. and generally leave the
tree so badly manned and disfgured
that 1t Is only question OF time un
till 1t is removed. either by man or by
the destroying fungi which enter the
tree where the large pruning wounds
