Figure 20. This eight-year-old tree should receive 

 a very light thinuing of the previous season's growth, 

 rather than the severe pruning the trees in the back- 

 ground have experienced. This tree shows a fair dis- 

 tribution of scaffold branches. The leader should have 

 been removed at X about four years ago to have formed 

 a modified leader type of tree.
