When approaching tree branch trimming, start by inspecting the branch for damage or deadwood. Use sharp, clean pruning shears or a saw for clean cuts. Always cut at a slight angle just outside the branch collar to promote healing. For larger limbs, make a relief cut first to avoid tearing bark. Wear sturdy gloves and eye protection, and never use a ladder near power lines. If the branch is high or heavy, call a professional.
