Why We Should Be Making Small Pruning Cuts — Virtual Workshop
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Details Branch failure can be caused by wind, ice, snow, or a climber aloft. Such breakage can result in costly property damage, personal injury, power outages, or blocked roads. Join us as we explore how loads move through the vulnerable region of a branch union/fork. We then discuss the biology around why small cuts are better than larger cuts and the impacts of decay on wound closure after pruning.
