1 PROPER TREE PRUNING TECHNIQUES Pruning is an essential and accepted practice, which keeps trees and shrubs healthy. Bad pruning is worse than not pruning at all. Broken branches and stubs need to be pruned because they will invite insects into the live wood. Prune 12 inches away from diseases and blights that are presented on the tree. When pruning crossing branches the smaller of the two should be cut. It may be better to cut lower branch at other times. o Root suckers are small branches that grow at the base of the tree that will compete with the rest of the tree for nutrients. o Water sprouts are lower branches that grow where you have already planted; they need to be pruned because they are competing with the rest of the tree for nutrients. U-shaped and V-shaped crotches: Get rid of the v-shaped crotches because they are unstable; when they break it could kill the tree and damage property. The u-shaped crotches on the other hand will be more stable. Young tree pruning Identify and remove problem branches, when deciding which competing branches to prune always keep the straight ones. When pruning deciduous trees always make cuts at a 45 degree angle. With conifers straight cuts are acceptable. When pruning large branches use a pruning saw. Before cutting make an undercut one third through the branch before taking it down. This will reduce the weight of the branch for an easier cut. Always use bypass hand pruners and loppers to ensure proper cuts.
2 To reduce the chance of spreading tree diseases clean equipment in a 10% bleach to water mixture. Only remove one-third of the tree branch mass every five years. Newly planted trees should only be pruned to remove dead and broken branches during the first two years after planting. PROPER TREE REMOVAL TECHNIQUES Frank Prater with his many years of experience with trees gave an informative presentation. The most exciting part about this session was being able to see Frank while he went to work on a tree. Certainly the main point of the demonstration was to emphasize safety for everyone in the area, and with safety came utilizing and communicating with a partner on the ground and ensuring that nobody else entered the area unannounced. He stressed a bottom-up method for removing the branches; this allows for the hanging lines of rope to remain untangled for the most part. Beyond that, remaining attached to the tree at all times was a very important part of a successful tree pruning or removal.
