PRUNING
_WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
branches are higher than your shoulder.
Get a professional to do the job.
• Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb. This cut
will make the limb sag so that it falls
easily on the second cut.
• Next make a second cut all the way
through the limb.
• Finish the pruning operation by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches from the
trunk of the tree.
