Hey friends, Ken Lain, The Top 10 Gardener! Storms happen, and sometimes our beloved trees take a hit. But don't despair! With a little know-how, you can help your tree thrive again. Pruning for recovery and repairing broken branches isn’t rocket science, but it does require a touch of care and the right techniques.
Here's the skinny: first, safety! Wear gloves and grab sharp, clean pruners. Next, assess the damage. For smaller, clean breaks, a prune just above the branch collar (that bump where it meets the main branch) encourages healthy growth. Bigger splits? Consult a pro. Remember, clean cuts heal faster, so aim for a diagonal slice, folks.
And hey, even if your tree looks rough, don't give up! With proper care, nature's resilience can amaze you. So grab your pruners, channel your inner green thumb, and give your tree a helping hand. Happy gardening!
