 Problem 9.91- Pruning Before you start work on the pruning crew, you need to demonstrate your knowledge and abilities. Your knowledge on basic tree structure, types of pruning and use of pruning tools will be tested. You will have to use a hand pruner for a few small cuts and then loppers to make a few larger cuts. You will then show which tools should be used to cut specific branches on the tree. These are only marked with clothespins and/or flagging tape. Next point out branches to be removed from a shrub in need of pruning. The power shears have been checked and are ready for you to turn on and then off. Demonstrate your shearing technique with the shears off. Return to "About the Exam"
