When such conditions prevail there is no doubt as to the advisabihty of cutting out some of the trees. Even when this crowding is not so evident, the trees are often too close. In apple orchards in which branches begin to interlock, the fruit is rendered inferior in size and in color-—-two factors of great importance.
