Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Training and Pruning of Fruit Trees, Vol. 12 In general there are two chief ends in view when a man begins to prune a fruit tree; he wishes to shape it or to make it produce in accordance with some definite idea. A knowledge of the science and experience in the art of pruning are almost essential to a satisfactory attainment of the desired objects. Conditions and personal opinions are at such variance that this bulletin will concern itself chiefly with principles that underlie pruning practises. In every tree there is a continual struggle for life and existence between its different parts. Twigs are fighting twigs, and branches are vying with branches for light and food. Those which have some advantage, generally of position, crowd and repress the others until they become dead or of little use. This is simply the work of nature, and the result is far from desirable from the viewpoint of the fruit grower. Neither the shape assumed nor the fruit produced is conducive to economy or profit. Such a condition is however inevitable in the unpruned tree or orchard. Fruit trees should be pruned, but the work should be based upon proper principles. Poor pruning may be as disastrous as no pruning; it may fail just as completely in attaining a sought-for end. Correct practises in pruning are fundamental to the welfare and worth of a fruit tree. If people would keep in mind and understand the fact that when they cut trees the are not only changing the shape but also affecting the production, there might be more good pruning and less poor pruning done. Trees are sometimes modified in shape with no consideration whatever of the effect upon their bearing habit. Pruning is one of the very interesting operations in the orchard because it gives a man an opportunity to use his judgment in all cases. An orchardist or farmer, to prune successfully, must know something about the fruiting habit of the tree, give attention to its age and shape, consider the possibility of a crop and its size, and understand the effects of pruning and something about the methods to be followed in gaining a desired condition. Fruit trees are trained to give them shape and pruned to influence their production. Some cuts are designed to do the former, some the latter, and some to help in both ways, but in aiming at one, the other must never be lost sight of. The two are closely connected and must be considered together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
