FLOWERING TREES NEED 
TRAINING 
All of the trees in this section should 
be carefully pruned when young to 
train the branches where they are 
wanted. Most of them are relatively 
small and should be headed back to 
form a low main crotch. They are con- 
sidered most attractive when only three 
to five main stems are kept trained in- 
formally and when all crowded, super- 
fluous wood is kept thinned out. Old 
flowering wood is cut out just after 
blooming. New wood is left through the 
dormant period and then cut when in 
full bloom for use in arrangements.
