PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
With the planting part completed, the newly planted trees and shrubs are pruned. Apple and Plum trees are pruned alike. Cut 
all branches back to one-half of their length, and where branc les happen to stand too dense cut some of them out to make a 
balanced crown. There should be branches In each direction, and a center or “leader.” Pear trees are shaped up in the same 
way, the branches that remain are not cut back. Sour Cherries require but very little pruning, only if a branch happens to be 
broken. On peach trees cut off all branches to within one inch from the stem. They make a fine new top. Prune Apricots 
same as apples and plums.
