Large branch removal
If collars are not present locate the correct cut as shown on the left; angle A should equal angle B. Make three cuts to remove a large branch to prevent bark from stripping down the trunk under the branch as shown on the upper right. Cut down through branches that have a wide angle; cut up through branches with a narrow angle.
