Very few ppl care about properly caring for trees. This is great information

Her tone is so soothing, with just the right touch of information & humor, that I use this video to fall asleep at night. 😊

Great Job as I just found out I'm a tree killer. I now know the correct way to trim or prune my trees correctly!

I started pruning in the mid 1970's and was taught to cut flush to the trunk and use sealer afterwards. It was around the mid 1980's I started hearing about leaving the collar. Enjoyable video, full of common sense and good practice, thank you

I love you! I also have to confess I actually loved my tree to death. I am trying to learn the right way so I can help the survivors in my yard.

Thank you so much for this information, delivered in an eloquent and accessible manner.

Thank you for a very educational presentation, it’s obvious you’re very educated on the subject as well as we can see your love for trees!!

Fantastic series. Thank you!

Thank you so much for posting this!

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful oversight!

"The kind of pruning that trees want"

Thanks very informative. I own a small company here in Orange County, California great material God bless.

A major, MAJOR thanks to everyone who's put this together, I have never seen such a comprehensive & dense presentation on this subject I mean the sheer # of infographics I 'had to have' it's amazing thanks for putting this out there I will definitely try spreading it as best I can!!

This is awesome! So much work and made so easy for us to learn. Thank you so much!

damn... never thought I would see this video and actually find a plant pruning video interesting... its actually a very informative video , thanks

Amazing ressoure, this is the best pruning video series I can find on YT, needs more views!

Thanks for the valuable information. This is very helpful.

I am much much more educated today. Thanks for this very helpful and informative video.

Love this! i really wish the guys i work with would watch these videos. Half of what we do in tree care is kill suburban trees by topping... makes for a recurring customer when the removal comes but then the relationship kinda ends lol

woaw that super interesting ! thank you

this is a great presentation. thank you very much. i am learning a lot.

Incredible channel

Thank God this video popped up. Wish i had found it a few months earlier. Gotta go inspect the damage ive done to my silver birches 😥. Hopefully not much.

Great info in these videos. One thing troubles me. Cass regularly says removal cuts are better for your tree than reduction cuts. No reason is given. And it is the exact opposite of the view of the world's authority on pruning, Dr. Ed Gilman. Most people only know removal cuts, and yet reduction cuts are more powerful in shaping and saving trees. One example: low limbs that will ultimately need to be removed; these should be saved as long as possible on a young tree using reduction cuts; limbs are what thicken the trunk and help feed the tree.

Great videos.. veri informative 👌

Thank you so much, this old student has taken copius notes

This is awesome

This woman tells it like it is!!!!

She was literally sent from Mother Nature herself to help unleash our landscape trees true potential. The luckiest people are the first tree owners since everything the tree will become is determined by the first 15 years.

Thank you so much 💓

Good information

1:37 shows a pine similar to ours, however ours is much fuller and has not been thinned. Yesterday's Norcal storm brought gusts of 50-60 mph and we were really worried that our 60 foot pine could get toppled by the winds. When does a reasonable person decide to either thin out the tree within reason or cut the whole tree down because it poses a potential threat of falling onto the house and people potentially getting hurt or killed if the the roof collapses? Our tree is massive and it would crush part of the house. One of our coworkers had that happen a couple years ago and it took out a quarter of their house, luckily no one was hurt. I'm an experienced tree climber/arborist but cannot decide whether to pull the trigger on this tree and which approach to take. One thing I learned from your video is to never top a pine tree, as rot will set in and a dog leg leader will try to grow in place of the cut center trunk. Thanks for posting this invaluable information!

I was watching these videos and thinking that she's clear in her presentation. She mentioned she has a book (Cass Turnbull's guide to pruning) so I went to see about buying it online. It gets very good reviews, but one of the reviewers said that the author is dead. Very sad to hear this. RIP.

20:00 However, dead wood can also be a home for many animals (and source of food for others).

What about if a large branch splits due to winter heavy snow? I have a mature catalpa umbrella tree that the center crown branch split vertically so I need to cut it off, but it will leave a big open space on the top (similar to what we see when the city cuts the trees down the center to avoid power lines.

1:50 these trees look like the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter. Now I know why the tree was so angry.

Do you recommend any current books on pruning/trimming?

You take some and leave some.

8:19 TREE TRUNK and Branch wood.

how do you prune fruit trees that are growing in pots

Learning to prune my chinese elm tree

You know there is more types of trees then a conifer right?

Wow. Random lesson. But wow... So informative.

Oops, I think one of my trees is about to have a “fright”, I got a bit carried away. Figured I better watch this course again to refresh my memory.

Can you put some videos Apple tree pruning I want single stam tree

I was up my tree thinking i was a bad ass by cutting it the right way but soon as i saw these videos i think i might have ruined a very beautiful tree and thats a bummer

Please use a pointer next time to make it easy to follow through.

whats the name of the scientist?

7:34 the moment I realised why bits of my tree is dying off.

Some of these trees look like they are being cut back because of power lines.

It's an isosceles triangle not equilateral

12:56 why anthropomorphic gender reference issues? Isn’t it all about perspective? I still don’t know from which perspective we call a tree branch crotch!

The info is extremely helpful, but the tone and tenor is not.
