Removal cut with bark inclusion
There is no branch bark ridge over the top of the union because bark is included in the union. |
To remove one of the stems, cut just beyond the point where there is a connection between the stems. This takes some practice. |
Removing a branch without a collar. Notice that the cut is made from the bottom up toward the top when the branch emerges at a sharp angle. |
