What Are the Correct Pruning Cut Locations

Proper trimming cuts should be made just outside the branch collar where branches connect to the main stem in the Lake Murray region. Avoid flush cuts that damage the branch collar as this tissue provides protective elements necessary for wound closure. Leave short remnants simply when the branch collar extends onto the limb around Chapin trees.

How Do I Make Clean Pruning Cuts

Use well-maintained cutting equipment to make clean cuts that recover efficiently and resist infection problems. Three-cut method for large branches prevents tissue tearing by first making an relief cut, then a top cut outside the branch collar. Certified arborists in the South Carolina region understand species-specific cutting techniques that maximize recovery potential for different tree varieties.
