The Colorado Experiment Station. 
Fig. 5.—A five-year-old Elberta peach tree. Almost perfect. This tree should not be 
allowed to grow much higher. 
Fig. 6.—A four-year-old Elberta. Good form; has made a good growth with fruiting 
wood near the bottom as well as in the top. 
Fig. 7.—The same as Fig. 6 after pruning. Plenty of fruiting wood still left, and a good 
framework for a productive tree. In about one more season it will have reached the limit 
or height. It will broaden out a little yet if it is properly pruned in the top.
