Ensure you have the right tools on hand for the job. That includes pruning shears, toppers, and a pruning saw. These tools are used for different-sized branches and limbs.


Timing and Proper Technique


Timing matters. You can remove dead or diseased limbs at any time of the year. However, major pruning should be done in late winter or early spring. Furthermore, use proper technique when pruning. Make clean cuts just outside the branch collar and avoid leaving stubs. Also, remove branches at the correct angle because it encourages proper healing.


Pruning your trees is a rewarding and essential aspect of tree care. Identify your goals, select the right tools, time your prune, and use proper techniques.
