Pruning small or easy-to-reach branches on shrubs or small trees is a skill that can be learned, and generally doesn’t carry many risks if you know what you’re doing. Small branches can be cut to fit into a green waste can, which can then be left at the curb for pick up. But when pruning large trees or branches, the risk of injury to both the tree and yourself can be much greater. You should always consult with a Certified Arborist and have them evaluate the situation. Here are 2 Tree Trimming Tools For Small Pruning Projects.
