For market culture and in cold districts it is often better to restrict the trees to the fan-shape. If any branches perish their places can easily be filled. Pruning.—The peach bears fruit upon branches of one year's growth, so that each year fresh shoots must be trained in and old wood removed to make room and to prevent overcrowding. Fruiting shoots are distinguished as follows : Those of average size bearing both wood-buds and fruit-buds, weak shoots with flower-buds and a wood-bud at the extremity only, and short growths with several flower-buds and one wood-bud. As to the pruning, let us first examine the pruning of a two-year-old branch. The object is to get fruit and to introduce a new shoot for the following year. The strongest shoots and also those with all wood-buds (unless they are weak) are cut back;.
