observe safety precautions.
Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut
the lower branches first. Prune heavy
branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
Never stand directly underneath
the branch you are cutting – be
wary of falling branches. Note that
a branch may spring back at you
after it hits the ground – risk of
injury.

can – they can be composted.
