In many cases extreme top pruning

pruning may develop strong growth OF
water sprouts, which indicates a lack
of equilibrium or balance between the
roots and the top and often causes one
part to live at the expense of another.
The habits of trees vary greatly; not
only in manner of growth from youth
to old age, but there are many varia-
tons in shoot growths. Some have a
tendency to produce strong terminal
growth and when headed in form lat

Summer pruning, If done at the
proper time and moderately. may tend
to produce fruit buds, while winter
pruning tends to make wood growth.
The relation of leaf and fruit buds
shows considerable differentiation and
every grower might pay more atten-
ton to the bearing buds of his trees
With apples and pears, for example,
some varieties will be annual bearers.
while others will bear only once every
two or three years. Some produce
fruit on the end of last years terminal
growth; others on axillary buds on
last years growth; some produce from
one-year-old spurs, while others will
not produce until the spurs are several
years of age.
On trees in foliage one will gener.
ally find the new wood bearing leaves
singly while the old wood throws clus-
tiers. The new growth generally
arises from terminal or strong lateral
buds. The terminals may produce
fruit, but this generally develops from
the laterals,
