I cut the branches in a cunning way so that the tree heals itself.

Every gardener should know, prune Right. After all, the trees themselves determine how it is more convenient for them to grow, and therefore often the branches either rest against the window, or they stretch to the wires, or they tilt on the roof, or otherwise create inconveniences.

And when a summer resident takes up a secator, a cutter or a saw, he is obliged to prune so that the tree receives minimal damage. Otherwise, the wrong cut may even cause the tree to become ill and not survive. So how do we get this right?



I love spring walks when the trees start to bloom. Until recently, everything seemed cold, gray and gloomy. And then you go outside and immediately feel this aroma, watch the breaking greenery and admire the first color, writes Maxim.



“This spring, we decided to walk the whole family in our country village. Especially since we settled here recently, consider that we went out to look around. And everything was wonderful, until I noticed how ineptly cut the branches on some trees.

“It seems that people are quite old and make such inexcusable mistakes. Here's the bitch, there's the bitch. This is where disease begins, and this is where the tree begins to rot. And all because someone awkwardly walked a sharp saw ...

“The same hemps, and the outflow of juice violate, immediately the fungus starts, hollows are formed, and the tree is forced to personally reject the damaged area. Nearby, the bark is damaged, and bark beetles are injected in the debris. But is it so difficult to prune the ring? – wonders Maxim.



How to properly trim the branch "Pruning on the ring" - a pruning method in which the tree receives minimal damage and is able to independently heal the damaged place. To do this, you need to trim the branch where the bark of the branch differs from the bark of the trunk itself. And the saw should be parallel to the same trunk.



You need to take into account the fact that you need to saw the branch not only from above, but also from below. This should be done so that when sawing off the branch does not break the bark from below. This way the tree will get further damage.

Therefore, if you saw off a small branch, do not forget to hold it with your free hand. This will increase the chances that the tree will cope with the loss. And after a couple of years, you won't even see any damage.



After pruning, you should clean the bark throughout the cut ring and remove protruding fibers, if any. It will be even better if it is possible to cover the cut with a garden cover. Although often the tree itself will cope, if the branch is cut correctly.

How does this tree recover? The sleeping place will begin to drag on a little. If the branch is cut off incorrectly and leaves the knot, then it will not allow the tree to heal the wound so easily. There will be uncontrolled processes that can destroy the tree.



As you can see, it is quite simple to cut the branch correctly, there is no need for any superpowers or great experience. It is enough to know a simple technique, so as not to damage the tree. Also tell in the comments what tricks you use when you have to take up the saw.
