GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also MODERN ARBORICULTURE is a systematic approach to the care of trees.
You should treat the system and not just the wound. The book MODERN
ARBORICULTURE has large drawings and small amount of lucid words. This
should help you make sound decisions on treatments to your tree based on a
thorough understanding of tree biology.
Two Books For You. To remove branches correctly takes a understanding of
how branches are attached to trees. Your question is a good one and these
two books should be in your library or they can get them or just go to
www.shigoandtrees.com to order.
Suggested Readings on Pruning Roots, Branches and Sprouts as well as other
Tree System Treatments of Value (TOP QUALITY)
Pruning is just one treatment. Treatment of the tree system is very
important. I suggest MODERN ARBORICULTURE as a guide. When a tree is
wounded, you should not treat only the wound but the entire tree. When in
doubt about a treatment, go slowly and lightly.
Many tree problems are associated with the following: They are Case
Sensitive.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.
