SUMMER PRUNING
Much time may be saved in the winter by judicious summer pruning - . There is a large amount of sucker growth, which is of no use to the tree and if left will retard the crop and have to be removed later after probably absorbing a good deal of the life of the tree. The best way is to • ill off with a sharp jerk all new growths which are growing inwards, and also those that are growing laterally and will cross the branches which are matured and probably fruit bearing. All suckers coming up from the roots should be removed at an early stage as this is a growth thrown from the stock of the tree.
