Just realized I was pruning oaks all wrong for years
Met an old timer named Dave at a job site near Portland last month. He showed me how I was cutting too close to the branch collar (by like a half inch too deep) and leaving stubs that would take forever to seal. I always thought you just made a clean cut wherever, but he pulled out his saw and walked me through a proper 3 cut method on a big red oak. Any of you guys ever learn a basic thing way later than you should have?
