>rc arc a few things tft> bear'
id before we begin pruning.
We should' remember that
can get along without be-
pruned at all.
!. That extensiv- annual prun_
does not improve most of our
ornamental trees and shrubs.
3. It is. best to restrict our pru-
ning to removing diseased, dead,
jwi scale infested "branches unless
We hav-; some understanding of the
subject to be pruned.
• u4« 't is best to avoid distorting
thjfc natural habit of growth of
tf&s or shrubs.
i'5. We should have some defin-
ite objective in view when prun-
ing and not prune just for the
s£ke of cutting off son*.- branches.
6. Pruning is a part of garden-
ing.
There are some reasons for pru-
ning. The first is to correct faulty
growth. Sometimes trees will have
crotches that aro formed
by the leader dividing into two
shoots of about the same strength
or a strong shoot will grow at an
angle with the leader and this
makes it easy to split 'from light
winds.
One of the limbs sltould be re-
moved after the crotch is formed
in this way the defect can be cor-
rected without spoiling the shape
of the tree. By watching your
trees this and othA irregularities
can be remedied in their early!
Remove the least tfesir-
branch when two crops and
rub each other. If one branch out
grows the others and spoils the de-
sired shape cut back at an early
stage to keep the general outline
da tree or shrub. .
Second, pruning is dope to im-
prove the flowers. Some flower-
ing shrubs produce the blooms on
^•^8; that /grfWv.
flower ojil short shoots
originating from growth of the
proceeding year. Sometimes thfc're,
will be so many twiggy branches j
that some of them will be too J
weak to produce blooms Or they
will be small. These early flow— |
ering shrubs such as weigela and
Torsythia should be pruned just
after they flower, cutting the older
and weaker branches tRat have
already bloomed'. ^
The old wood should be thin-
ned out to let in light and air and
help the young shoots to develop
properly.
Lilac blooms are formed near
the tips of shoots, grown the pre-
ceeding. If* the tops are cut Mck
will have fewer -flowers.
It is an advantage to cut out
some of the weaker or excess suc-
kers that come out from the b^e
of the shrub cutting the tallest bra
nches when in bloom, for use in.
doors, will prevent lilacs from
growing too high. To keep lilacs
young cut out the old worn out
branches near the ground line
and allow them to grow suckers.
