HIGH HEADED VERSUS LOW HEADED APPLE 
TREES 
The New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Gen¬ 
eva, N. Y., issues a bulletin on the “Growth and Yield of 
Apple Trees Pruned in Various Ways,” by G. H. Howe. 
The result of the experiments upon high versus low 
heading of apple trees seemed to be much in favor of the 
latter. 
High headed trees were trained so their lowest branch¬ 
es were approximately four feet from the ground. 
Low headed trees were cut back to 20 inches at the 
time of planting. 
SUMMARY 
1. Unless considerable care is taken in the formation of a 
high head for an apple tree, the removal of so much wood may 
be necessary as to impair the vigor of the tree as well as to 
check its development. 
2. A few years after planting low-headed trees were from 
one to three years ahead of high-headed ones in point of size 
and vigor. 
3. High-headed trees were less stocky in trunk and branches 
and had smaller tops thah low-headed ones. Because of the tail 
trunks such trees were so twisted and bent by the action of 
“Electives
