It is one of the main winter tasks of growers of pip and stone fruits and more time is spent on it than on any other single winter operation. This month cover, which has been reproduced from a colour photograph by Sparrow Industrial Pictures Ltd., shows pruning of a mature tree in an Auckland orchard.
