Pruning Performance

摘要

Developmental pruning is the art of training a tree to grow as a single stemmed structure through the practice of pruning. If left untouched for many years, trees will often develop problems for the next generation of homeowners and arborists that will be dif-ficult to solve or mitigate. Although there are other reasons for developmental pruning, we will mainly focus on one, the future structure of a young deciduous tree.
