When establishing, trim any off-shooting or wayward branches or growth with secateurs or shears. Ensure the tools are sharp and disinfected before use to reduce the risk of damage or of disease taking hold after pruning. Cut the branch at an angle of around 60 degrees but avoid cutting anywhere near the collar of the branch (the raised area of bark at the branch base), as this could damage it. Always trim larger branches several inches away from the collar. Use secateurs on branches smaller than 1/2" diameter and shears or a pruning saw on larger ones.
