| Question: | "We are about to begin our annual tree-pruning work, much of which we are able to complete in-house. What is the best pruning cut to promote healing of the wound?" |

| Source of Question: | New York |

| Answer/Response: | "The pruning cut should be made at the point where the branch collar joins the branch. Making the cut at this part of the branch collar leads to the most rapid callous tissue formation and helps protect the tree from decay fungi. Be careful to use the "three-cut" method to reduce the weight of heavier branches and avoid bark tearing." |
