Apple trees commonly must be disbraunched before they be replanted or set.

ANd chiefly the Apple trées beyng graffed or not graffed, doe require to be disbraunched before they be sette a∣gaine, for they shall prosper thereby, much the better: the other sortes of trées may well passe vnbraunched, if they haue not to great or large braunches: and therefore, it shal be good to transplant or set, as soone after as the graffes are closed on the head of the wilde stocke, as for small trées which haue but one cion or twigge, it néedes not to cut them aboue, when they be replanted or remooued.
