The apple as affected by varying degrees of dormant and seasonal pruning . 34 W. VA. AGRL EXPERIMENT STATION [Bulletin 158 Table XXI shows that the light dormant pruning causedthe trees-to come into bearing earlier and to produce consid-erably more fruit than did any of the other methods of prun-ing. The summer pruned trees did not bear as early nor didthey produce as much fruit in 1914 and 1915 as did any of themodifications of dormant pruning. The percentage of fruitbuds set for the 1916 crop on the moderate and light dormantpruned trees greatly exceeds that for the summer pruned

In this experiment, summer pruning has checked treegrowth and has delayed and decreased fruit production. Effects of Seasonal Pruning upon OrchardsJust Attaining Bearing Age. Information upon this phase of the work was securedfrom the Lupton and Grimes Golden orchards. The varietyused in each of these orchards was the York Imperial. Forty-five trees of five each in a plot were used in the Grimes Goldenorchard, while there were ninety trees of ten in a plot in the.
