ss ad TELLS BEST WAY 10 PRUNE TREES Public Service Forester Gives Valuable Hints Directions for pruning street trees are given in an article by Howard J. Eddy. Forester for the Public Service Company. in the Public Service News. "First of all, in large trees com- mance pruning at the top of the tree," writes Mr. Eddy, "and work down- ward, in this way saving labor of coming back to dislodge any limbs which may have been caught. And needless to emphasize, perhaps, the pruner should know from preliminary study just what he wants to cut be- fore climbing a tree, as the aspect of a tree is very different on the ground form the aspect in the tree. In mak- ing the cut the saw should be held so that the plane of the cut is parallel to the axis of the trunk, and reason- ably close to the trunk, so that no stub or even a suggestion of swelling will be left when the scar has healed. "The branches are often cut off with a stub of varying size, left in place. This in time has formed about it a collar of the succeeding years' growth of new wood. "The dead stub, however, gradually decays and breaks off, leaving an opening in the main trunk which of- fers an easy entrance for fungus growth or insect pests. Again unless the cut is properly made the limbs split parts of the main trunk as they break. To prevent this the cuts should be made with an undercut first and then an overcut. This process may take more time, but it prevents such splits. "For all cuts it has been found pos- sible to use a dressing of some kind of paint over the wound and so pre- vent decay. If the wound is made in the proper fashion, leaving a flat sur- face parallel to the axis of trunk or limb, the tissues of the cambium will grow and differentiate the cells of the bark which eventually cover the en- tire scar, forming a cambium layer over the entire surface and a barky layer over that. The difference in the appearance of the bark will always show, but the function of the tissue will be resumed in a normal fashion as though no branches had occurred and the wood rings will be laid down about it, increasing the diameter of the ~ trunk as though nothing had hap- pened." To prevent decay, Mr. Eday advises the use of some paint preparation, or preparations of cold tar.
