BEST TIME TO PRUNE
%TRANSPLANTED TREES
Early Spring Has Been Most
Generally Recommended.
Fear Has Been Expressed That
Branches Cut Back In Fall viii
Not Dry Out Sufficiently-Re-
suits Of Missouri Station.

The time to prune transplanted
trees, and young trees not to be trans
planted, has been much discussed.
Early spring has been most generally
recommended. II is the usual custom
to prune back the branches of young
trees when they are transplanted.
Some writers have recommended de-
laying pruning back fall transplanted
trees until spring. The ~precaution Of
ten urged against cutting back the
branches In the fall is that the tree
loses too much moisture through the
cut surfaces of the twigs. Fear has
been expressed that the cut-back
branches will dry out sufficiently to
XIII back badly during winter. The
question naturally arises as TO whether
more water will be lost through the
wounds OF the cut twigs than would
be transpired from the branches were
they left intact.
In order to answer this question for
Missouri conditions, which are more
or less typical of the central states,
general observations have been made
on young trees pruned at different sea-
sons at the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture In the last
twenty years. The results uniformly
indicate that better growth results IL
the branches are cut back In the fall.
This holds true for young trees gener-
ally, whether they are t~ransplanted In
the fall or spring or are not trans
planted.
The same observations are true OF
grapes. A skillful grape propagation
and grower at Hermann, Mo-. has found
that grapes make better growth II
pruned back in the fall. This grower
sets his cuttings in autumn as soon
as the vines shed their leaves and
thereby successfully roots Norton,
Cynthiana and other varieties found to
root with difficulty If the cuttings are
made and set In early spring. He
further says that o~ue-year-old grapes,
designed TO stand a second year in the
nursery, make much better growth II
pa JAIN III iiN Ian "'o' '
bearing grape vines make stronger
growth If pruned in autumn as soon
as their leaves are shed. This is par
ticularly true of varieties that tend to
make poor renewal growth from the
lower spurs.
That the water content of young
apple trees Is not greatly affected by
fall pruning was established by eX-
periments in 1900 and 1901 at the Uni
versity of Missouri. Little difference
in water content was found between
apple trees transplanted In late fall
and those which were not transplanted.
Also, the trees whose branches were
pruned back in late autumn contained,
on the average, slightly more water
than those which retained their
branches. While this difference is not
great it at least indicates that the
pruned branches did not suffer from
drying out through the wounds, but
that on the contrary the pruned trees
dried out slightly less than those
which were not pruned.
