How to Prune Landscape Trees

Join tree steward Tim Maywalt for this informative class to learn the best practices for pruning landscape trees to improve their health and appearance while reducing the risk of branch failure.

We’ll cover basic tree pruning concepts; where, when and what to prune; how to minimize decay resulting from pruning cuts; types of pruning cuts; and tools, tool maintenance and safety. Pruning is fun and your trees will thank you! We won’t be covering pruning fruit trees for production, pruning shrubs or topiary. We’ll mainly focus on pruning young landscape trees.

This class is free, but donations are always appreciated.
