      abstract = {In order to clarify the correlation between short-shoot  Fuji apple tree structure and different factors under  different trimming and pruning modes, we investigate the  trunk taperingness of free-spindle short-shoot Fuji and  slender-spindle short-shoot Fuji, respectively, as well as  the total thickness, average thickness, total length and  average length of small main branches in the standard  demonstration apple garden in Xingtang County of Hebei  Province. By SPSS analysis, we study the correlation  between trunk taperingness of trees with different shapes  and the growth indices of their small main branches. The  results show that the trunk taperingness of free-spindle  short-shoot Fuji apple is negatively correlated with the  total thickness, average thickness, total length and  average length of small main branches, but the correlation  is not significant; the trunk taperingness of  slender-spindle short-shoot Fuji apple is negatively  correlated with the total thickness but positively  correlated with other factors, and the correlation with  average length reaches a significant level. The results of  this study can provide a scientific basis for guiding the  high-density dwarf rootstock short-shoot Fuji apple tree  trimming technology. },
