Damsons generally bush out freely. These 2-year 

 Plums are often planted in exposed situations, as 

 they are not so affected by the winds as Standards, 

 the lower branches can be removed as the under 

 fruit (Gooseberries and Currants) rise in height ; the 

 side branches of all trees may be left on for a few 

 years, as they assist in forming a stout body to the 

 tree. 



No. 12 is a Gooseberry without a leg. This form 

 of market tree is preferred by many growers, as the 

 bush can be renewed if any branches break off.
