 | | Trees that are resistant to canker will be used as a source of seed for future generations of seedlings. | | | Competing trees were removed from around these seed producers, so the trees are encouraged to produce more seed that is easier to collect than if the trees were in a crowded forest. | | | The dark bands and triangular boxes attached to the trees are used to trap insects that defoliate trees in the forest. |

| | Pruning stone fruit trees Colorado State University Tri River Area |
| | Young trees are pruned (or trained) to establish a strong scaffold (main branch) system of wide-angled, well-spaced branches capable of supporting large crops with a minimum of branch breakage. | | | After a plum tree begins bearing, an annual thinning out of water sprouts and branches growing toward the center of the tree is recommended. | | | When possible, fruit trees should be planted in areas where they can be fertilized and watered separate from gardens and lawn areas. |

| | Unstaked trees also had greater trunk taper, meaning that the trunk increased in diameter more rapidly, and were lower in overall height while having bigger root systems. | | | Most trees up to three inches in diameter can be supported by two stakes normally the same diameter as the tree trunk being staked (Fig. | | | Small trees up to two inches in diameter rarely require staking, while larger plants may or may not require staking. |

| | Grove of State Trees |
| | Each state is represented by a loosely arranged grove of several trees that are spaced widely enough to accommodate their mature dimensions. | | | Most states adopted their state trees in the period following unprecedented industrial and agricultural expansion in the late 1800's and early 1900's. | | | Entire forests were stripped in this period for building materials, fuelwood, and to clear land for crops and livestock. |

| | Topping Trees Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Tri River Area |
| | The cylinder of rot that develops in the tree is often the same diameter as the main stem that was removed. | | | In fruit growing areas, where orchard trees are topped on a yearly basis to keep them at a height for the easy harvest of fruit, area residents often mistakenly believe this same technique should be used on ornamental trees as well. | | | The process known as topping is the indiscriminate removal of a tree's crown, cutting off large branches and the main stem of the tree, leaving large branch stubs. |
