Select trees In the nursery that have a single or terminal leader. Maintain that single leader while the tree Is young by pruning any lateral branc h es that start to grow higher than the terminal leader Many species of trees including Sweetgurn (Liguldarnbar styraciflua), Tulip Poplar (Lirlodendron tuliplfera), Red Oak (Quercus rubra) and oth ers naturally grow with a single leader. Nursery personnel will be able to help you select trees with good branching habits.
There are a few simple principles that you need to understand before you set out to prune a tree.
• Start out with the proper tools. A sharp pair of hand pruning shears, long handled lopping shears and a pruning saw are all you need.
• Every cut you make has the potential to change the growth of the tree. Always have a purpose In mind before making a cut.
