Urban & Community Forestry Coordinator, Mark Bays, has some useful tips on how to prune our trees. We go over the 3-Cut Technique and the Tree Pruning Checklist: make sure to remove the dead material first, then the crossing branches before trying to open up the center of the tree. Remember, it is best to only cut about 20% -- 25% when pruning trees.
