ATTACHMENT A

3‐POINT PRUNE METHOD GUIDE

Do not cut into or otherwise injure the branch collar. Do not make flush cuts. Remove the branch using a three-cut method.

Cut 1. Coming out 12-15 inches from the trunk, make an undercut a third to halfway through the branch.

Cut 2. Moving a couple of inches out past the first cut, make the second cut from the top, removing the branch. This double-cut method prevents the weight of the branch from tearing the branch below the branch collar.

Cut 3. Make the third and final cut just outside the branch bark collar. Take extra caution to not cut into or otherwise injure the branch bark collar.
