Whether cutting storm-damaged branches and dead limbs, regulating growth or shaping a tree for aesthetic purposes, regular trimming is important to promoting a healthy, good-looking tree.
Step 7: Use the loppers to remove smaller, high branches. The pole saw loppers can be used to remove branches up to about an inch-and-a-half. Place the loppers over the branch and pull on the cord. With the loppers, you can move quickly through the tree removing shoots that are growing toward the branches.
Place the loppers over the branch and pull the cord.
Always work from the ground when trimming or pruning trees. Never prune trees from a ladder. When cutting, always stand to the side and away from an overhead branch. If a tree requires heavy trimming or working up in a tree, a tree service professional is strongly recommended.
