REFINEMENT OF BRANCH PROFILE
Let’s use the first left branch as an example.
The whole branch structure has been worked on in the
same fashion.
Work consists of eliminating old leaves, cleaning the
interior and superior profile of branches and eliminating
erratic growth.
Each bud, no matter how small it may be, can develop
into a new sub-branch. If these are not eliminated, the
whole structure of the tree and fine ramification may be
compromised.
With concave cutters we prune all unwanted growth. Although these tasks might seem tedious, it is necessary
to perform them, without fail.
Small concave cutters are a good tool, as they allow access
to tight spots to eliminate branches on point and without
leaving stubs.
We prune all unwanted growth and old leaves.
After performing the same task to the whole canopy.
We use our fingers to eliminate old leaves.
First left branch, after work.
Left; A view from the bottom shows that the branch remains in place
without the aide of wire and that the ramification has adequate pro-
portions in relationship to the trunk.
