Excerpt from A Study of the Framework of the Apple Tree and Its Relation to Longevity
A further objective of the study was the development of a method that would be easy to explain and comprehend in all of its details; the method should be generally applicable, with little modification, to most varieties, and should not fail in certain seasons or on certain soil types. It should not require too much time in its execution and should not delay bearing materially.
As the study has progressed it has become more and more evident that conventional methods of training are uncertain and difficult; that they may bring about the premature death of the tree; and that methods by which trees might be trained more easily are being over looked.
