A. part of a branch before pruning, but marked by cross lines for that operation: a. leading shoot of preceding summer: b. side shoots; c. natural spurs; d. spurred growths; e. shoots from extremity buds; f. spurs. Ages of wood: 1, one year; 2, two years; 3. three years. B. part of a branch, similar to A. after pruning: g. leading shoot shortened to cause the buds to break at the base, and thus provide a vigorous continuation growth and spurs, or shoots to form them, for bearing; h. side shoots shortened to within 1 inch of their base: i. natural spurs: j. shoots from growths spurred In previous year, shortened to within 1 inch of their origin; k. spurs not to be shortened, as that implies cutting away the fruit which they are likely to bear. C, bearing bush of Red Champagne Gooseberry: 1. branches before pruning, but marked by cross lines for that operation; m. branches after pruning.
