Never prune more that 25 percent
of the crown at one time. Some tools you may need
are rope saws, a pole pruner and lopper, folding
pruner and portable bucket saw is just the beginning
of the list you might need to prune or trim you
Phoenix tree.
When you cut off branches make
sure to disinfect the cuts with 1 part bleach
to 9 parts water.
One of the biggest mistakes we
see is when people leave too much stub when trimming
their tree. If you are going to prune or trim
a branch then get it all off or don’t do
it.
Also try not to scrape your tree
with tools or lawn mowers, they do not particularly
like this.
