 Many
orchardists believe that pruning is the most important aspect of
raising fruit, with a typical pruning removing not only dead
branches, but suckers and limbs growing at odd angles. Overly
dominate limbs may also be removed. To onlookers it often
seems that the pruner is just hacking away, possibly even harming
the tree.
Healthy, fruit-bearing trees are pruned to make them produce even
more fruit. Older, low-bearing trees are pruned to stimulate
new growth and revitalize their production.UBC
members may wince from the Union's mergers and closings,
but they know what the orchardist knows:
It is the cuttings and pruning,
That causes better fruit to grow.
You're pruned if you do. And pruned if you don't!. |

Unions deliver higher wages for workers and
focus on raising worker skill levels and safety awareness.
The
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows
that in 2006 Union construction workers earned an
average of $969 per week while their non-union
counterparts earned only $610 — a
difference of $359 per week!
In 2007, that gap grew even larger with the Union
construction worker averaging $1,000 per week as the
non-union worker struggled with $624.
