Chapter 33, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The trees that have fruits with pits like peaches and cherries produced on secondary branches. The pruning or renewing of fruiting wood and method to make a cut needs to be discussed here.
Introduction:
Pruning is done for producing high quality fruits or crops. It is usually practiced in young trees, as they require less corrective pruning when they mature. It is essential to allow only the main leader to grow and not allow the secondary branches to outgrow.
