These damaged areas can easily be removed by using a pair of small, sharp pruning shears. Ministry of Natural Resources staff can advise you on how to conduct this selective pruning. Care must be taken not to damage the remaining healthy branches of the tree. Since this equipment is dangerous, you should take appropriate measures to avoid injuring yourself. Your equipment should be well maintainedâ€" sharpened and oiled regularly. It must also be disinfected after cutting diseased material, in order to prevent the spread of disease to other trees.
