Sinopsis

In contrast to modern commercial orchards consisting of closely planted trees attached to a trellis, backyard growers will find it easiest to train dwarf apple trees to a central leader with several tiers of lateral (or scaffold) branches. Homeowner',s Guide to Training & Pruning Apple Trees will teach you, step-by-step, how to train your young tree, from planting to maturity, to develop and maintain the ideal &ldquo,Christmas tree&rdquo, shape. Along the way, we&rsquo,ll reveal our &ldquo,insider&rsquo,s secrets&rdquo, to help you understand the &lsquo,whys&rsquo, of tree growth and how each type of pruning cut affects your tree. Finally, once your tree reaches the desired height, we&rsquo,ll share with you a simple method to keep your tree within bounds. Written in clear, easy-to-follow language, and illustrated with many line drawings, Training & Pruning Apple Trees, in addition to apples, also includes basic instructions for shaping other types of fruit trees, including peach, pear, apricot, cherries, plums, and persimmons.
