At the fourth pruning the lower branches are not cut nearly so long as in the previous pruning, because they have now attained to almost the desired length and vigour. The new branches of the second series are left somewhat longer, and the pruner looks more to the top-structure, so to speak. The wisdom of forming the base well at first will be apparent. During the summer. Pyraviidal Pear-tree. ~ Fourth pruning. following the fourth pruning before described, attention should be given to the young branches at the top of the pyramid, as well as the side ones. As the lower branches will have nearly reached their full length, a too vigorous growth of the terminal shoot of each must be prevented by pinching. The next figure shows the aspect of the tree at the fifth pruning, and how the pruning is performed.
