Tree & Shrub Pruning
How to Prune
Always use very sharp pruning equipment that is large enough for the job. This will keep bark from ripping and give nice, clean cuts. Do not leave jagged edges and try to keep the branch collar in tact so heal over begins immediately. Wound paint is not necessary on properly made pruning cuts.
Winter Stress
Protection
• Mulching around plants at a 2" - 3" depth will help to retain soil moisture.
• Use burlap or other wind breaks where plants are in very exposed wind tunnels.
• Provide proper nutrients to the plant to keep them as healthy and vigorous as possible. Root fertilization in the fall is ideal for this.
• Plant hardy trees and shrubs in areas desirable to their conditions.
• Prune injured or dead branches in spring.
