About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos or missing text. Not indexed. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1839. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. ON THE DEFECTS AND NECESSITY OF PRUNING. The business of raising and nursing young trees, --the best methods of preparing the ground for their reception when fit to transplant--manner of transplanting--the soils most suitable for each species--together with staking and fencing--are all thoroughly and universally understood. But the only part of the woodman's duty which does not appear to be well defined, or at least not generally agreed upon by practical men, is relative to the necessity of carefully pruning and managing the trees during the first fifteen or twenty years of their growth. On this very material branch of management many different opinions are held, as well as to the season in which it should be performed, as to the manner in which it should be executed.. Some persons imagine that pruning at any stage of the growth is altogether unnecessary, while others maintain the contrary; though the latter have omitted to lay down any practical rules for performing the work except only as regards some of the regular-growing species of the coniferae;--some foresters advising all the tiers of branches to be constantly, that is, annually cut off, except three or four at the top; while others advise no branch to be dissevered until it is dead, lest the tree should bleed to death. At the time when very great complaint was made of the great quantities of defective oak timber which was constantly received and rejected in the royal and merchant's dockyards of this country, an urgent inquiry was instituted to discover the probable cause. That this complaint became louder at one time, say about fifty years ago, than it had been previously, may be accounted for by the circumstance of the purveyors having had before that period a greater choice of trees ..
