HEAD FORMATION IN AFFILE TREES

Plate IV. Mcintosh Tree H38, at seven years. 



The one-year whip was cut back at planting with the result that three or four 

 branches came out at al^out the same point. Follow the development of the lowest 

 branch at the left. It would perhaps have been better to cut this back at first vet 

 the tree has gained symmetry with age. The main branches shade each other which 

 has probably lowered production. Total yield 222 pounds. Compare with Plate XIV
