Lat- eral roots ranging from one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and up commence to throw off new feeding roots almost as soon as the trees are transplanted. In California and the Southern States while most trees are inactive in the formation cial orchard planting we would recommend the pruning of all deciduous fruit trees to within 18 inches of the ground. If trees have lateral branches below the cutting- back point, cut back these laterals one-half .—this will cause the tree to form a proper head. As stated in Figure 2, the maxi-. Fig. 2. Walnut Trees Cherry Trees Peach Trees Pear Trees Fig Trees of new tops or leaves during the winter months, they are never inactive for the formation of root system. Pruning the Tops of Trees—This is the one most important feature in tree plant- ing. The accompanying illustration (Fig- ure 2) shows walnut, cherry, peach, pear and fig trees in three grades, as they will be received from the nursery. The line marked across the tree in the illustration indicates the point at which it should be cut off or pruned to. These lines show the maximum amount of top that should be left. Even a more severe pruning is advised and recommended by many, and it is certain that no harm will be done if pruned much more severely. In commer- mum amount of pruning is designated. The same severe method of pruning of the peach trees, as shown (Figure 2), applies to the apricot, almond, plum and prune; in fact, all classes of deciduous fruit trees.
