Thesegrowth measurements together with records of wood annuallyremoved are set forth in Table XVI. The large amount of wood removed from the heavilypruned Arkansas block is partly due to a few broken limbsthat were removed. The Arkansas block responded muchmore actively to pruning than did the York Imperial block. Fruit Production.
