college, liaH iNHued him following regard
iig praaitig of trees:
Many people seeat to think that prim
ii.g is a weakening, t devitalizing prac
tic, and it may be Hiieti; but only under
y uaiiHiial cireuaiKtunces. Nature
is u vigorous primer prbably not more
1111 oae I1111I in tei survives iu the
ce. Notice the forent trees, how the
h-wer braiiches die; or even in oar or
chanls liuw many of the branches mic
ciimb in the battln of life. I'rHuing
v.heii properly done, iiiKtead of devital
iing, nhould givft uiore life, muro vigor,
to t lie plant.
Learn Balance First.
The first letmon for us to learn is that
Iln-re ix a natural balance between the
root and the top. Disturb gently this
balance and you give rise to serious re
actioim. Deep ptuwing uf nu orelmrd
which has not been plowed for year
cuts off iniiiiy of the feeding roots. Un
lettH the top is pruned buck we find that
the t ice makes u feeble growth, the
haven being often Irs'i tlinn half their
normal size, the fruit small and often
worthless. On the, other hand, shoulJ
you prune the top very severely ou
trees of good vitality, the reliction will
he a thick growth of water Hproutn,
which will sap the vitality from tho oth
er parts of the tree. uly by laborious
su minor pruning and overlaying vigi
lance for several years can the tree be
restored to its normal condition. There
are certain canes where heavy pruning
ia advisable. Often old penrh trets
have lost all the vigorous wood, onpo
chilly thai which is found oil Ihe inside
:ind lower sections of the tree. Such
tie s have outlived their list fulness but
oft' 11 have the vitality sulhcient to
grow a new top when t hey are very
everely cut buck t 1 stubs. Likewise
Id cherry treen which have in some
kmi'S ten or 1- feet of dead wood in
the top can be built i.'.to strong, vigor
ous. heavv producing trees by cuttinif
back severely, to vigorous wood. 1 11
such cases we are confining tin1 whole
'liergv of the trees lo a much reduced
number of buds. Undly fro.en tree
me given the Hiilue treatment.
Young Trees Hnrdy.
Voting trees will stand much more se
vere pruning I ha a old ones. The re
action can be hnmll 'd much more eus
ily, by a combinali.oi of summer and
winter pruning. Tli problems of pl us
ing, then, d.llVr wiiii the age of the
tree. We find the h-tbits of the ymtng
tiee to be different fioiu those of tHP
oh) done. In the young tree the tel'
'iiiiiiil buds nre the dio-uiaiit ones, while
in the old tri e the Intend buds In com
the stronger. A pruned tree iilwayn
tends to return to it natural habit of
growth. Cut the center from a tre
nd you will note I hut it striven to de
elop 11 new one. Head in a strong
rower, it tends to shoot upward again
I would not have the reader think that
e tan modify by pruning, for it is
- ell known that lire heading in of
mug trees develops a stronger lateral
Mowth. This heading in, if loo severe,
11 s.nne cases serves as a check to the
In i' and sei'M's to induce fruit fulness
by causing the formation of fruit spurs.
The season has an influence on prun
ing. Winter lends to produce wood.
Summer pruning, if lightly done, proba
blv aids in the formation of fruit buds.
A combination of th two will probably
give the best success. As un example,
the thinning out of surplus wood in
winter and the light heading in during
the mourner.
Such phases will b" discussed more in
detail i the future.
In conclusion, 1 would stnte that the
habit and individuality of tho tree
must be studied if one prunes intelli
gently. Some trees are naturally very
fruitful; others nre not. and often in
such cases pruning seems to be of little
value.
