HO-49 Fruiting occurs on numerous short spurs that are long-lived, thus it is not necessary to prune this type as much to renew fruiting wood as it is with trees with other growth habits. Fruiting habit refers to the overall pattern of fruiting and includes fruit position on the ends of long or short shoots, age of spurs producing most of the crop and location of the crop on the scaffold limbs. Fruit trees that initiate flowers on one year wood and have large fruits such as peaches respond better to heavy pruning than types that set flowers on older spurs or have smaller fruits like the cherry. www.hort.purdue.edu /newcrop/ho/HO-49.html   (12643 words)

prune Trees growing near highways or power lines are pruned for safety reasons, and gardeners sometimes prune trees to achieve a desired appearance. Foresters and orcharders also prune broken branches, replacing an uneven break--which can be a source of infection and an opening to insect infestation--with smooth cuts, sometimes painted over with tar or other protective substances. Done carefully, pruning can increase the yield of fruit; it is thus a common agricultural practice. www.yourencyclopedia.net /prune.html   (154 words)
