STANDARD. A tree unsupported by a wall or trellis. 



Full Standards are such trees as are trained with tall, 

 straight stems, 6 or 7 feet high, clear of branches, and 

 are then suffered to branch out. 



Half Standards are trees trained with short stems only 

 2 or 3 feet high, then suffered to branch out at that 

 height to form heads ; having low heads the fruit is 

 more easily gathered. Concave dwarfs have the middle 

 hollow, and the branches all round in a cup form. Hori- 

 zontal dwarfs have the branches extended all round in a 

 fiat or horizontal position, but the concave dwarf is to 

 be preferred.
