Walnuts and Chestnuts* 



These trees require little pruning, as Natui'e generally herself shapes the 

 tree, but for reasons of economy it is best to remove the centre leader. Figure 

 128 shows a walnut shaped by Nature. Should any leader get away from its 

 fellows, it may be shortened back ; otherwise, let the tree alone, except in case 

 of its becoming too crowded, or of too manj' arms coming out from the main stem, 

 when they should be thinned out. All cross limbs should also be removed. .
