• Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb. This
cut will make the limb sag so that it
falls easily on the second cut.
• Next make the second cut an over-
cut all the way through
the limb.
• Finish the pruning operation
by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes
1 to 2 inches from the
trunk of the tree.
