Excerpt from The Training of the Apple Tree: Thesis
The primary scaffold branches of a tree should form a wide angle with the trunk. So as to make a strong union between branch and trunk.
The scaffold branches should be spread in growth in order that the largest bearing surface may be obtained and the tree kept open so as to insure the development of fruit throughout the entire top.
