HE following paper on the above
subje.u was read at the last an
nual meeting of the Northwest
Fruitgrowers Association at Vancou
ver, B. C, by T. W. Stirling of Ke
lowna: Any fruit grower, on being pointed
out an apple tree, can say at once
whether It 1, well shaped or badly
shaped. The general characteristics
of such trees as would be called well
shaped by an experienced fruit grow
er are found to be somewhat as fol
lows: The uia.n branches spring from
the trunk at a good broad angle.
They do not spring opposite to
each other but are distributed un
and down the trunk. They are
evenly pl-iced aroun'd the trees and
do not interfere with each other.
There is a definite center stem
from whicn they spring and which
extends bove the main slda
branch "i.
" Such a tec I" cf the strongest pos
sible irumi. J; .will carry its proper
lead of fruit without propping. There
is no fear of It being split down to
the ground and ruined by an over
weight of fruit or by wet snow or any
other cause. The greatest damage?
tl.at will be likely to happen to It
will be the breaking of a bough, an
injury which can easily be repaired
and the loss replaced within a short
time. If any main branch Is over
laden and breaks off, the injury lo
the trunk will be comparatively slight
there will be no splitting. Always
ftesh shoots can be grown from the
center to replace broken branche'3.
After all, the main stem of the tree is
the tree; keep that intact and the
tree is still there to grow any branch
es from that are required.
To illustrate the advantages of this
form it Is only necessary to think cf
arother fcrm which Is very common.
Tnat is the tree, where the center nas
teen cut out and never replaced,
where the branches all spring from
about the same point as the fingers
giow from the palm of the hand.

comes, either from an
fruit or from a fall of
yes, and sometimes by reason of its
own weight will get tired and 'ie
down, splitting right to the ground
so that there Is nothing left from
which a new tree can he grown.
Now, shaping a tree is not ths
whole art of pruning, and by shaoing
a tree is meant that treatment of tne
tiee in its earlier years which de
finitely determines its general form;
a tree may be well shaped In this
sense yet at the same time woefully
In need of cutting and clearing out,
but this latter branch of the pruno's
art can not be dealt with adequafil;'
in a paper and it is the first only
which Is the subject of this present
effort.
The object of this paper then ia lo
outline a method, and to state a few
short rules, which if followed will in
sure every tree growing up in a cor
rect form.
The rules are three In number, riz:
(1) keep the leader; (2) have out
one leader; (3) make the leader lead.
The explanation of these and the
method of carrying them out in prac
tice is as follows:
The tree is planted as a yearling
whip and cut hack to about three
feet, or a little less, from the ground
with the object of forcing buds Into
decided growth so that there may be
something to work on the next spring
Tho first real step towards shaping
the tree Is taken the spring after
planting, prefesably when tho buds
are just beglnning""to show green. It
will be found then, If the tree has es
tablished itself, that some of the buds
near the top, very generally three.
have made a strong upstanding
growth coming out from the stem at
a very acute angle, lower down, more
shoots will have grown from the stem
at a greater angle than the leaders,
and usually have not made such a
strong growth. It is from these latter
that the first tier of branches may be
chosen.
Leaders. Of the one, two, or three
stiong, upright shoots near the top,
select the best and most upright as
the leader and sacrifice the remain
der. If they are retained with the
luea that they will become ratisfac
tory side branches, amenable to dis
cipline, it will be found to be a mis
take. They will not do so but will
for years be a source of bother, com
peting continually with the leader
foi supremacy. Cut them out leaving
but the one leader.
Side Shoots. From the other
shoots lower down select, if possible,
three side branches. These must be
evenly distributed around the tree in
a horizontal direction. In a perpend
icular direction they must he well
separated; the angle they make with
the trunk should be large, nearly a
right angle. If there are not three
shoots that satisfy these conditions
then leave only two or one that does;
better one right than three wrong;
plenty more shoots will grow during
the current year to fill any vacancies.
(N. B. Certain varieties of trees,
for instance the Northern Spy, have
shoots which almost Invariably spring
from the stem at an acute angle. In
such cases It can not be expected that
shoot will be found to satisfy the
third condition mentioned above. It
is as well then to use a spreader to
cause the shoot to grow in the desired
direction.).
Cutting Back. Having selected
the shoots which are to remain, p.nd
removed the others cutting them
off close up to the stem it is necess
ary to cut them back. It will be ob
served that the buds on the upper end
of a wood shoot are better developed
than those near to the base. The ob
ject in view is to give the leader the
start and to have It keep ahead of tho
rest; therefore do not cut it back too
much. Cut it amongst these buds to
wards the upper end perhaps one
third of its length down from tho tip.
In regard to the side branches. Per
haps amongst these retained one or
two are weak, and one or two are
strong; these latter, perhaps, nearly
as strong as the leader. It Is they
which require to be watched or they
will start racing for supremacy with
tho leader. Put them In their right
place right away. Cut them back to
within three buds or so of the stem.
The buds hero will be very much
backward and by the time they have
been forced into growth the leader
will have shoots several inches in
length and there Is no fear that the
sido branches will catch up.
Next Year. The following spring
tho process will be much the sane.
The leader will bo treated practically
as was the whole tree the year before.
Tho lower tier of branches of last
year will probably have made two or
more shoots. Almost Invariably one
will bo enough to leave, and that
should be cut back among the well-
;gested,'.(
toSel
cossarm
developed buds towards tho extreme .
nr nhout one-third In from fVi-fi 'l
The next year will bo tlmo enough
for theso sido branches to have side
shoots.
Third Spring. The next year will
be a repetition of the first and second
except that there will bo an addition
al tier of branches to prune. The
treatment of this lower tier, this year
will be somewhat similar in principle
to that of the leader the first year.
The cutting of the preceding year will
probably have resulted in two or
three strong shoots growing from the
end and one or two weaker shoots
growing further in on it. Ot the
strong shoots at the end but one
should be loft, and that cut back as
before about one-third; of the others
one or two may be left as there is
room or not.
After this, If all has gone right, as
it will have done with a normal well-1
growing tree handled as suggested;
the tree may be considered
formed and it is usually unnecessar
tc continue cutting back the leading
3hoots. The leader will be firmly es
tablished and the tree will tend to
keep the form in which it has been
trained. Subsequent shaping will
simply consist of thinning out super
flous shoots and branches, keeping a
ust balance between all side bought.
The idea to keep in view Is to give
he leader the preference when cut
ting out; that Is, if a shoot from the
center Is crowding a shoot from a
side bough it is the latter that must
give way.
Should tho shaping have been ne
glected In the earlier years, or should
an Injury have happened to the lead
ing shoot, it is often found that one
it the side branches has come ahead
jf the loader and is competing with
t.he leader for supremacy. There are
hree things that may be done, and
ane of them must be done, if a well
jhaped tree is to result, viz; (1) the
3ide branch may be cut off; (2) the
tree may be cut off immediately above
the side branch and thus the latter
becomes the leader. (Where the side
branch has grown pratically as lar;
as the rest of the tree above it,
of theso two things must be dcrae)
(3) check the side branch back han
by cutting it off Immediately abov
one of Its own side shoots; the strong
er its tie the lower down must it bq
cut.
This latter will be best where sucli
cutt.ng is likely to be efficacious irl
putt.ng the sido branch in its plixo
It will, however, in any case, haVe td
bo watched the next season.
Always the side branches must b
headed in this way if they show signj
of coming ahead of. tho leader unti
they are finally Induced to take &
subordinate position.
It will likely now be found tha
there are too many branches and tha
they are crowding each other, no ma
ter, it gives a choice and if any hav
tc be sacrificed their existence wll
not have been wasted, they will havi
assisted to thicken and strengthe:
-he main stem.
It is not claimed that there is(an;
thing new in this paper; it is sim'
an attempt to state in clear and co
else language a definite system whlcl
ac any rate has the merit of produc
Ing surely, and without waste of time
energy plant growth-the results aim
ed at. The attempt seems to bo jut
tlfied because this part of the orchar
Ist's art has not often been state
either clearly, concisely or complete
ly and it Is very necessary to hav
clear and definite ideas on tho sub
ject.
With a clear mental picture of whi
Is needed in regards to shaping a tie
tho pruning of young trees is a rapi
and sure operation. The tree is pru
ed and shaped mentally as the opei
ator walks toward it. A few deft cut
with a sharp pair of shears and it i
done.
Lacking this clear Idea there is it
decision and doubt, the Indecision c
the first year produces the puzzle
tho second year which in the thirl
year becomes an Insoluble problem
rather one only to be solved by sacrl
flclng half or more of the tree anj
