- Learn the four basic pruning cuts from UC Marin Master Gardener and Pruning Guild member Kirby Wilcox. Four cuts - Heading, Thinning, Releadering (or Reduction), and Jump cuts are demonstrated and explained in detail.
Pruning cuts, performed properly and at the right time, can help improve the structure, health and performance of your trees and shrubs.

Among all the CZcams videos out there for properly pruning a tree, this by far outshines them all!
Finally someone willing to demonstrate instead of talking on and on and on. *Well done!* So grateful. 🙏🏼
How much irrelevant rubbish I had to wade through to get to this perfectly concise, yet comprehensive guide. No blabbing on about your house and kids and 2 dogs and how it's summer and lemon lime bitters are a great way to cool down for the first 5 minutes of an 8 minute video, before getting into the actual content only to vaguely brush over the topic at hand. I have saved this as the only pruning guide I think I will ever need as an amateur gardener. Thank-you!!
Finally a video that explains pruning in easy to understand steps!
This is without a doubt one of the very best videos I ever have screened on CZcams. So well explained and demonstrated and no time wasted. This video is precise and concise. Gives me confidence that I can tackle the shrubs and trees at my new rental property. Everyone should watch this video at least twice before tackling their shrubs and trees and making a lot of mistakes. Many, many years ago I tried to trim a whole long row of boxwoods. I must have done it wrong because it totally stunted their growth. They never grew up again. I was horrified and heartbroken. Ever since then, I have been frightened to trim anything.
Excellent knowledge. Learned alot today from this video.
It is very rare to see serious stuff on CZcams, but here's the one on pruning
This is amazing . I didnot know that Clint Eastwood has some serious farming skills
This was really helpful thank you! I had snippets of information (cut at 45 degrees to encourage growth, different cuts to discourage growth) but this finally put all the pieces together and why to use each one
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video, clearly explained. Thank you
Glad you liked it
amazing learning video
Sir, this is probably the best pruning video i have come across so far. Very detailed, very informative, clearly explained, without overwhelming with information. Thank you very much for your knowledge.
Edit: NOT probably, DEFINITELY.
Thank you, we are happy this was helpful!
Very easy to understand and very clearly demonstrated. Thank you.
This video is gold dust! I've never seen pruning explained so clearly before, and I've looked in several gardening books as well as videos! Love the images that show the effects of the various cuts!
Glad it was helpful!
The best explained pruning video. Hats off - for this excellent explanation
This is a hidden gem. I cant find better vid that teach how pruning works as good as you do!❤
This is easily the best tree pruning 101 video I've seen, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is so easy to understand, thank you! Exactly what beginners need :)
Great video, quick without any babbling. Excellent content and execution!
🌳 Thank you for this! Quite clearly demonstrated indeed!🌳
Thank you professor. I feel much more confident now to prune my bushes and trees so they can be both healthy and beautiful too 👍
Thank you! So clear and concise! Just what I needed before pruning my volunteer maple tree!
Basic rule of pruning is. Get a decent pair of pruners. An anvil pruner will cut better and cleaner and won't let the branch, if thick twist in the pruners. A bypass will spread if the wood is too thick. When I tried anvil I threw out my others and never bought again.
Very clear and concise, thank you!!
Thank you
Wonderful instructions! thank you
Comprehensive and super helpful!!
So helpful thank you!!
No doubt it is great video on pruning. I request you to make video on 1. cow dung composting, 2. how to avoid complications of organic mulching such as rodents and breading of insects under the mulch. I 'm requesting you because your every step is based on scientific knowledge and logic. Thanks
Very helpful. Thx
Thanks. It is perfect.
At last! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
excellent!!
Thank you 😊
Thank You.
I am very new at this and your demonstration and graphics have been most helpful I’m glad I found your channel! Sounds like I should also use a thinning cut to remove dead branches?
You can use any of the cuts to remove dead or diseased branches, depending on where they are. And those can be made any time of the year. Glad you found us!

How should i cut if i want a wide and dense canopy and a thick trunk but short height, also to induce flowering in the plant
What time of year should I prune my nectarine tree it's 4 yrs old
I recently bought a home in the country in eastern Tennessee with a couple of pear trees, a fairly young peach tree, and a cherry tree. The pear trees are probably 10-15 years old and 20-25 feet tall with a "few" central leaders (tree trunks?) on each tree that are way too high for harvesting fruit. My goal is to bring down the trees to about 10 to15 feet so I can reach the fruit with a ladder. Do you have anything regarding on making a major reduction in size? The center growth has (trunks?) about 18" - 20" in circumference at the 5' - 10' level.. By the way, these trees have not been pruned in years. Thank you.
hello, we are sorry but there is no short answer for your question, and it is very difficult to give pruning advice without actually seeing your trees in person. You would basically be trying to halve the current size of your trees, which is a lot! In the best scenario, you would approach this over a few years, selecting branches for removal using releadering cuts to lower the overall height. It's best to make a plan to see what you can achieve each year, over three years or more. Patience is key in situations like these.
Does 1/3 cutting include heading + thinning + releadering + jump cut.? If I cut over 1/3 and what 'll happen with my tree? Thanks
Hello, yes the 1/3 rule applies to overall pruning of your plant or tree. If you prune more than a third, your tree may not be able to recover from all the cuts made. It doesn’t matter what cuts you make. A tree has to generate enough resources and energy to seal up the cuts you make. This is also why we only prune trees that are healthy and unstressed.
I have two Peony tree plants loaded with suckers is there a way cut these and grow new trees from
Check first that the suckers are not from the nurse plant that your peony is most likely grafted on. We don’t have peony experts in our organization unfortunately (!), but here is a link to a peony society where you can ask questions, or check out the ones answered on their site here: www.peonies.org/faq.html#8. You might want to reach out to your local master gardener organization (as we don’t know where you are located) to help answer your question. Best of luck with your peonies!

Wouldn't it be safer to make the 3 point cut a 4 point cut, by doing a quick undercut near the collar, especially for larger limbs? Is there a reason not to do this?
When weight of branch is more, 4 step cut is more appropriate to avoid pealing of stem skin.
the jump cut is still a bit unclear to me :(
jump cut
thank you for this
i did not know well
thank you
excellent video
