It is, of course, evident that there Ss 
is no one method of pruning young \) 
trees which is all wrong, nor any other 
which is all right. The method must 
always be modified by the age and 
shape of the trees, by the climate (or 
part of the country) in which the plan- 
tation is set, by the species of plants, 
and especially by the ideal which the 
grower has set for himself. In general, 
it may be said that the younger the 
stock the more nearly 
to a whip it may be 
pruned.
