‘They are the young of a’small fly

In planting dwarf apple trees, we,
care must be taken not to got the
graft union below ground or the
fruiting part may become eatab-
Mshed on roots of its own. If this
happens, the dwarfing stock will

will find himself with a full-alzed

NEED PRUNING

Dwarf trees require more detail-
ed pruning, At planting, the tree |
should be headed back severely to|
encourage numerous shoots to|
feather out low down on the treo
and form a low-headed treo with
a good framework of branches.
