pruning problems

[graw]

mate you really need to work for a good firm and do a lot of watching and learning,you may be able to climb but pruning doesn't come overnight. You need to know the importance of good cuts and good decisions for what the tree needs,you will only get this from working with people with experience.Most decent climbers start off being good groundsman and a good eye on the floor,then they know what they need to be doing in the tree.It's not something you can learn from books or arbtalk you need to work with people who can prune before you'll be able to prune yourself.Good luck with it,get with a good firm

My apprentice recently left after one year with me, 3 days a week.

He still needs two years of guidance but he's now out by himself mutilating trees!

 

It takes a long time to learn this stuff and you'll never know it all. It really is a life's work.
