How prune your tree properly using the three cut method. #howto #diy #pruning

Pruning your trees is an easier task than you may think! Here is how you do it. 👉 Step 1: The Undercut 👇 First, make a small undercut on the branch about 12-18 inches away from the trunk. This prevents bark from tearing as the branch falls, preserving the tree's integrity. 🌳 👉 Step 2: The Top Cut 👇 Next, create a top cut slightly farther out from the undercut, allowing the branch to fall away cleanly. This eliminates the risk of tearing and damage to the tree. 🌲 👉 Step 3: The Final Cut 👇 Finally, make a clean, close-to-the-trunk final cut, just outside the branch collar. The branch collar is a natural bulge where the branch meets the tree, and cutting here promotes faster healing and growth. 🌱
