When planting, remove any unnecessary weak limbs and 
shorten some of the others. The central shoot or leader is not 
usually pruned unless necessary to make the head more dense. As 
higher limbs develop gradually remove the lower ones to the 
height desired. Plant firmly, and see that they do not suffer for 
lack of water, especially the first year.
