Fig. 1. — An apple tree in which the central leader has 

 been allowed to develop. Such trees are inclined to 

 grow too high. Compare with Fig. 2. 



Fig. 2. — The open-center habit of growth. A well-bal- 

 anced tree with plenty of room for the admission of 

 light and air. Most orohardists favor this type of tree 

 in preference to the type shown in Fig. 1.
