HOW TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES 
It is best to go over your fruit trees once each 
season and where limbs are crowding, they should 
be thinned out enough so that they do not rub or 
Interfere one with the other. All cuts should be 
made smooth with the shoulder. Do not leave any 
stubs. Do not cut lower limbs off to make high 
headed trees. Low compact trees withstand wind 
storms much better. The best time to prune fruit 
trees is late Winter or very early in the Spring, be¬ 
fore buds start. 
WHEN TO PRUNE SHRUBS 
Early flowering shrubs like Golden Bells, Spirea 
Van Houttei, and Lilacs, should be pruned immediate¬ 
ly after they have finished blooming to encourage new 
growth to produce flowers the next Spring. If they 
are pruned in the Winter, the buds which were formed 
the previous Summer will be cut off and the quantity 
of late blooms will be reduced. Late flowering shrubs 
such as Anthony Waterer Spirea, Hydrangea Panicu- 
lata may be pruned in Winter or early Spring because 
the flower buds are formed the same season as they 
bloom.
