Abstract
Pruning means removing certain parts of the tree in order to regulate the shape and bearing habits of the tree and quality of the fruit, but with a minimum of interference with natural growth habits. Not all kinds of fruit and nut trees are trained and pruned the same way, but most fit into one or more of the basic systems. To be able to prune intelligently, one must understand the basic principles. It is the aim of this bulletin to present basic principles and methods of pruning young and old fruit trees, vines, and bushes.
