iC .4i By Glen P. Lumis Department of Horticultural Science Pruning ,plants around ▪ your , home can be fun, and easy-too.. By • knowing some "of the basic steps you can intelligently prune, nearly , broken in storms. Remove a narrow growing branch before it gets too large. Weak crotch (left) strong crotch (right)
By removing dead and weak
wood from a plant, it is more
pleasing to view, less susceptible
to disease Or .insect attacks and-
will groW better. Dead wood only
takes up, space. Dead branches
overhead- may he dangerous.
Another important, reason for
pruning is to obtain -thF maximum .
display ,of bloom and to increase
flower of fruit size without too
great a reduction - in the total
quantity of .flowers and fruit.
Remove old, thin and weak
wood.But don't do too severe a
pruning job all at once because
this will stimulate too much
vegetailie growth whiCh will not • flower well.
When to prune is a common
question and, unfortunately,
there is no one 'answer. A rule of
thumb is to suit the plant and the
season of the year. Early spring is
often a•good time but don't cut off
all those spring flowers. Shrubs
which floyver in spring develop
flower buds the previous fall, so
you -should prime spring
floweripg shrubs after they
bloom.!You will also find it easier.

Proper'diet essential to a lush, lawn A good fer,tiltzntion and liming program will do more toward getting and keeping a lawrt to be proud of than any other manage-ment practice, according to The Fertilizer Institute WaShington, f).C. Fertilization Is an essen-tial' part of an overall management program in-cluding groper Mowing, ir-rigation or water control, weed and thatch control and insect and disease !' Protection. I . • For proper growth, grass plants require adequate -supplies of many nutri- ne ts, some in minute . quantities. But calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, (phosphate) and potassi-um in relatively large quantities are essential. Calcium Is' necessary for cell and root formation and general Plant - vigor.
In addition, ,talciurn in

trients and the activity
of soil microorganisms
through its effect on soil

linity of the -soil).
Nitrogen is necessary

die from proper pruning.
There are several reasons for
pruning. It helps plants recover
following transplanting by
removing part of the top of a treee
or shrub to balance the roots
which - were lost during the
transplanting.. One-fourth 'of the
top can be removed by pruning-
away weak, crowding branches
and. shortening some of the
rerpaining branches.
An example of pruning a shade
tree prior to planting •is shown
iiere. If this pruning was done at
the nursery, it is not necessary to
do it again.
Proving removes -unwanted
,growth. Branches which are
crowding other .plants or
extending over a stairway' can
easily be cut out by going back
into the plant to a side branch.
Always prune to a side branch or
side bud so that a deadstub won't
12e left. Also, by reaching back
into the plant, the cut is not so
obvious as if it were at the edge of
the plant.
Pruning is a way of shaping a
plant into' a desired form --
broad, compact, open, etc.-Keep
in mind that plants have their
,normal shape and growth habit so
don't try to- make a small shrub
into a narrow in ini-tree. Pruning
will -help to avoid narrow crotch ,
angles of tree limbs. Narrow
crotches are weak and easily
to prune shrubs when they don't have leaves. This works well for shrilbs which flower in mid tette summer. Prune them in early spring. - If flowering is not involved, timing is not so critical. Avoid late summer because this will -often stimulate shoots to grow which will not be "hardened off" prior to cold weather. Also, avoid pruning soft maple, birch and walnut in the late winter or early spring because they "bleed" at this time of year. Early summer will be the best time to prune these trees. When pruning shrubs, don't give them a "haircut". Remove some branches -- particularly old thick ones -- completely. This allows space for new shoots and still achieve the desired growth reduction. "Rejuvenation" is a term for completely removing lots of the old branches and allowing young branches to grow from the base.
Always prune a hedge so that
the base is wider than the top.
This will allow light to reach the
lower branches and provide a
hedge that is full to the base. This
Careful pruning can save trees method of shaping applies Remember that there is -no equally to a formally clipped magic to pruning. When you hedge as well as one which is. knaoswuccso;seatof th„perbunaseicse. y. ou be informal.
