Text Appearing Before Image:
Bul. 568 Effect of Pruning Young Olive Trees During' the sixth and seventh winters the pruning consisted in the re- moval of water-sprouts and light thinning of dense portions of the trees. System, B: This system is identical with system A except that the very dense skirt of small branches on the lower part of the tree was thinned out the third winter.

Fig. 4.—Ascolano tree 5 years old having had no pruning. Illustrates system A before pruning in 1929. System C: This may be designated as light annual pruning. At the first or second winter pruning, from three to five branches were selected for scaffold branches from which the framework of the tree was devel- oped (fig. 3). These were selected so as to be well distributed around the trunk and with their respective origins from the trunk as far apart vertically as the development of the individual tree would permit. Each year branches not desired for the scaffold were repressed by shortening, or were removed entirely where their presence threatened to interfere seriously with the development of the desired form.
