jessica rae scott: jessica rae: don't know how to make the pruning large tree branches? melinda's got the answers for you... " late winter, after the worst of winter weather has passed through early spring before growth begins, is a great time to prune trees. make proper cuts to insure the health and longevity of your plants. use the three-cut method when removing large branches. this prevents trunk damage caused by the weight of the branch ripping it and the bark off the tree. make your first cut about one foot away from the trunk. cut from the bottom moving upward about 1/3 of@the way through the branch. next cut downward from the top of the branch several inches beyond the first cut. as the branch starts to fall, it will break away at the first cut. this prevents damage to the trunk. the third and final cut is made flush with the branch bark collar. it's the swollen area at the base of the branch and acts as a natural barrier to decay- causing organisms. i'm melinda myers, check out t r website for r is and other gardening tips. jessica rae: after the break... howard
