Synopsis

Excerpt from Pruning Fruit Trees

When trees are growing too much they are receiving too much food from the roots and consequently need reduced nitrogen feed ing. Such trees also need all the food they can get through their leaves and should not have the leaf surface reduced by pruning.

When trees are not growing enough, they may have been in jured or they are not receiving enough food from the roots. If they have been injured the first thing is to give the proper treat ment to correct the condition. For example, trees defoliated by insects or diseases, or injured by borers, need treatment to contro these pests. When trees have had their wood injured by winter freezing, the leaf surface will be much reduced, and no pruning, but heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer, is needed. When healthy trees do not receive enough food from the roots, nitrogen fertilizers should be increased, and the trees might also be benefited by proper pruning.
