The Peach bears on shoots of previous year. 

 The tree must, therefore, never be headed 

 back; whole branches should be removed 

 when pruning. Heading in does cause pro- 

 duction of new wood but method advised 

 is better. 



Low heads, keeping them open if possible. 

 Keep all branches free from water sprouts. 



Moderate pruning to remove old branches 

 and new ones if tree becomes overloaded. 



Head very low. Cut back ends of branches.
