Pruning Without Pain: The Easy Way to Prune Trees and Shrubs

Pruning is frequently fun and always satisfying. There’s nothing worse than the sight of your apple tree in the Fall containing suddenly sprouted suckers! Tidy it up and you’ll make certain of great apples next season.

It is best of all if you’re able to prune pain free. Of course, in case you are lucky enough to get be young, fit and strong you’ve got a great advantage but even old timers much like me can also enjoy four or fives of pruning without discomfort. It just takes a practical system to do the job, sensible clothing, and care with ladders and posture.

Select the right Tool for the task

If you are pruning at walk out help pruner could be all you have to. There’s two kinds- a bye pass kind of pruner or an anvil pruner. The byepass pruner is best for lighter pruning. Tougher or thicker branches can separate the blades on the byepass pruner.

Anvil pruners will pretty much always receive the job done- they never separate and can save plenty of effort. But that anvil pruners can bruise the living wood which in delicate species can bring about infections.
