Suckers from the Apple Tree

Nature volume 2, pages 315–316 (1870)Cite this article

Abstract

MOST of the orchards in the west of Herefordshire have had their herbage injured during the present season by the extraordinary profusion of suckers thrown up by the apple-trees. In many places it looks like a miniature plantation, and is a serious detriment to the pasture. In an equal degree the elms have exhibited the same tendency to throw up an infinite number of shoots, and I am curious to know whether I am right in considering it to be due to the great heat of the surface of the soil.
