50 DWARF FRUIT TREES 



In conclusion it may be pointed out that the slower 

 growing trees, pears and apples, are the better suited 

 to the more elaborate forms of training. The more 

 free and rapid growing species, such as peaches, nec- 

 tarines, cherries, and Japanese plums, are better man- 

 aged in somewhat simpler forms, preferably the fan. 

 Such trees do well, however, in the U-form or double 

 U-form.
