FIG. 225— PEACH TREE WITH VERY DENSE NEW GROWTH AFTER HEADING 

 BACK TOO SEVERELY AS IN FIG. 219. 

 The only buds formed are at the ends of the branches where they are easily 

 killed. A much smaller number of buds on this tree survi\'ed the winter following 

 the heading back than lived on more open trees of the same variety.
