Prune to Admit Sunlight

Older fruit trees require certain
amount of pruning to admit sufficient
sunlight to properly color the fruit
on the lower branches. If some OF
the upper branches have been bent to-
ward the ground by heavy fruiting
the more upright branches arising
from these should be left to produce
the new fruit wood, while the lower
portions. which may be too near the
ground by this time, can be removed
In all pruning. 1t is the safest prac-
tice to prune from the top Of the tree
down, rather than from the bottom of
the tree up. Too much wood is apt
to be removed from the lower portions
of the tree when pruning is started
from the bottom.
