TRAINING TREES INTO SHAPE
More Advantageous Than Allowing 1t
to Grow Wild and Then Chop and
Saw Into Form Desired.

1t is much better to train tree
the shape it is wanted than to allow
1t to grow wild, then chop and saw
it into the desired shape.
BY proper pinching of buds and
bending of limbs during the dormant
season, if the sprouts starting from
the body of the tree or along the
main branches are pinched when
they are three or four inches long
they will ordinarily form fruit spurs,
says Mirror and Farmer. Aim to get
more fruit buds near the body Of the
tree and along the larger limbs In
stead of the branches. AS color is an
important factor, care should be ex-
ercised to keep the top open SO the
rays of the sun can reach to every
part at some portion of the day. To
accomplish this it may be well to do
some pruning when the tree is in full
leaf; cutting ten or even Is per
cent. of the top away when the tree
Is in full leaf will cause no serious
injury.
If the trees are carefully looked
over dUOuL IuTCc Ll1uSS uuIlu6 eAO
growing season, and the ends OF
those shoots that are growing too
long are pinched off, the tree may be
kept to the desired shape. But where
shoot has been overlooked it is bet
ter to cut it out when found than
wait until winter. Negligence during
the growing season is about the only
logical reason for severe winter
pruning.
Severe pruning while the tree is In
dormant state stimulates more rap
i'd and abundant wood growth, about
four fifths of which will grow where
it is not wanted, necessitating yet
more cutting the following season.
Pinching and summer pruning slim
ulates the production of fruit buds,
and tends toward better maturity OF
both buds and fruit. Plan to grow
an abundance of fruit spurs well
distributed over the whole tree.
