The number of fruit borue by the finer examples of trees here range from four to five hundred, and this without in the least injuring the tree. As to the pinching of the summer shoots after they are laid in, it is done according to their strength ; but the greater number are pinched at from six to ten inches, and the lateral branches that spring from these are of course pinched also, while weak shortish branches are allowed to grow to their full extension. The pruning is distinct from ours in this: it is done on the spur, and not on the cutting-out principle. We generally leave the shoots of the past year long, and cut away a good deal.
