The best way to Cut Dogwood Branches

February 4, 2018Garden Standard

Dogwoods, trees and woody shrubs of the the Cornus genus, colorful bark and improve your lawn elegance with blossoms. Pruning is rarely needed by dogwoods, but an occasional trim keeps them from building an unruly look. Pruning enhances air circulation and minimizes the potential for pest infestation or disease development. Cutting back branches prompts development and restores the vigor of the dogwood.

Pruning Dogwood Shrubs

Cut dogwoods straight back to the floor every four or three years when older stems turn pale and drop their colour. This encourages the plant to develop new stems.

Remove middle or lower branches in the winter, when the dogwood goes dormant. Look to get a region that was swelled, known as the branch collar, in the junction involving the trunk of the dogwood as well as the branch you want to slice the. Cut the branch prior to the swelling starts. Don’t reduce the branch collar, as the dogwood will be injured by this.

Straggly twigs in the dogwood to provide a neater look to the shrub. Make cuts to twigs around one quarter inch above flower buds.

Prune dead or diseased branches in the dogwood any period of the yr. Dogwoods are vulnerable to a number of diseases, including crown rot, canker illnesses and anthracnose, harming its own appearance and the shrub. Removing branches that are impacted AIDS in preventing the spread of the illness.

Pruning Dogwood Trees

Plan to prune your tree after it finishes flowering in late summer, usually for the period.

Select limbs for elimination, including low-hanging branches or the ones that may cause injuries or property damage.

Use a hand-saw to make a cut half-way through the lower of a branch. Make the cut about 1 foot from the trunk.

Move the hand-saw about three to five inches away from the first-cut. Position the saw on the very best of the branch. Cut entirely until it’s free enough to eliminate.

After eliminating the branch cut off the stub left left out. Avoid slicing also shut to branch collar, or the region, close to the trunk.
