Pruning cuts?

Recommended Posts

I have been hedging for a good few years. If taking off branches with saw (rather than hook) i've always done 'taget pruning' type cuts (branch collar etc) out of habit from other work. Have been thinking would i be better to leave a stub or flush it a bit to encourage for sprouting or doesn't it matter?

Cheers.

Type of hedge dependant and if you are going to use your saw then I would personally leave a stub cut back to a node. Hoping that, that would send out some new growth.

Target pruning is a more professional approach showing that you care about the well being of the tree allowing it to regrow and occlude the wound.
