Description: Never make flush cuts when pruning—always leave the branch collar intact with a small stub (1/8 to 1/4 inch on small limbs, larger on big limbs). Prune landscape trees fall through late winter and fruit trees from mid-winter until bud break, removing only dead, diseased, or crossing branches.
