Trimming Tips
The pruner can be used to remove fresh blooms, overgrowth,
dead and tangled stems, as well as twigs and weak growth.
1. Never cut too close to the bud, so the wound can heal
properly.
2. Make the cut approximately 0.3 inch (8 mm) above the
bud (Fig. 16).
Fig. 16
3. The cut should slope away from the bud, so that rainwater
can be channeled away from it (Fig. 17).

4. When removing the entire stem, cut it back to the point
where it branched (Fig. 18).
