C. W. Overman Urges
Pruning Fruit Trees
December Good Month,
Says Chowan County
Agent
“December is a good time to prune 1
fruit trees,” says County Agent C. W. «
Overman. He gives the following
suggestions: 1
Prune young or non-bearing apple j
trees lightly. Remove only water (
sprouts or suckers that crowd the
main scaffold limbs. Do not cut back
the end of the main scaffold limbs or
those that form work of the trele.
Lightly pruned apple trees will come
into bearing earlier than those that
are being heavily pruned.
Open the center of peach trees but
do not cut out all the small shoots!
growing from the upper side of the
larger limbs. Head back lightly the
main branches and thin out laterals
that crowd main branches.
Prepare to spray fruit trees about
two weeks after the leaves have fallen
or after they become dormant. Spray
with- either oil emulsion or lime sul
fur. Secure information in spraying
from your county agent.
You«might want to plant pear trees
which are blight resistant. The Bald
win and Orient are two of the varie
ties that are offered for sale by
nurserymen. Write me if you do not
know where to get them.
