PRUNING

1. WINTER PRUNING

The well-pruned fruit plantation is pleasant to look upon and brings profit. The badly pruned plantation is unsightly and unprofitable.

Well-pruned trees and bushes are sturdy and shapely and bear plenty of fruit of excellent quality. Badly pruned fruit trees grow anyhow, some weakly, some exuberantly, none are shapely. They bear uncertainly and their fruit is of poor quality. Therefore, everyone who grows fruit should know how to prune it, or at least know how it ought to be pruned. The best, and in the long run the quickest, way to understand how to prune is to get to know what effect pruning has on the growth and fertility of fruit trees.

WHAT PRUNING DOES

(1) Pruning influences the vigour of growth. A young Apple tree is growing far too much. It is all wood and no fruit. Try to check its growth by drastic pruning and it grows all the more; the harder it is cut back the faster it grows. It is evident, therefore, that pruning influences growth. Within wide limits, a tree or branch grows the more vigorously the harder it is pruned.

(2) By influencing vigour, pruning also influences fruitfulness. A weak tree produces little fruit. It lacks the necessary strength. A very vigorously growing tree likewise produces little or no fruit. It is so. Everybody who grows fruit knows it, though nobody knows precisely why it is so. All they know is that moderate vigour and fruitfulness go together. But pruning influences vigour: it must therefore influence fruitfulness. Hard pruning year after year makes a tree vigorous and unfruitful: a change over from hard to light pruning makes growth less vigorous and encourages fruit production.

(3) By determining shape, pruning makes for health and strength as well as fruitfulness. The shapely trees of a well-pruned fruit plantation enjoy advantages denied to the ungainly ones of a neglected plantation. Each main and lateral branch is spaced out so that all are freely exposed to sunlight and fresh air. The cup-like shape with open centre allows air and light to reach the inner side as well as the outer side of the tree and helps the fruits to get good quality and the wood to ripen properly; no undue shading of leaf by leaf, no rubbing of intercrossing branches, no crowding: the well-shaped tree makes the most of its opportunities. The good health that it owes to sunshine and fresh air fortifies the tree against pest and parasite. Shaded Apples are always the scabbiest. Pruning makes the most of sunshine; makes the little we often get go the longest possible
