Tree pruning for the first time can be a completly daunting task! Just remember that most cuts you make to a tree will not kill it. With that fact out of the way take a deep breath and try to feel what kind of cuts the tree wants…
Start with cutting branches that are
- Dead
- Diseased
- Dying
- Damaged
- Deformed
- Crossing Over
If you stick with that you’ll already be making major improvements for the tree. Don’t panic, enjoy the challenge.
