Small branches: To trim a branch or twig that is less than one-quarter of an inch from the nearest plant, make a straight cut

Large branches: Require a series of cuts to protect the bark. The first cut should be made at the base of a branch, approximately one-third to the root. It should be between 18 and two feet away from its main trunk.

The second cut should be taken about an inch beyond the first. This will allow you to continue cutting the branch until it breaks.

To encourage natural healing, the last cut should be made just below the branch collar.
