PRUNING DOs AND DON’Ts

DO:

• Ask your arborist or tree care company if they prune according to the American National

Standards Institute standard for tree pruning, which is called ANSI A300. This standard

recommends, and in some cases requires, that the use of certain tools, cutting techniques and

pruning methods be followed, and sets the standard deﬁ nitions for terms the arborist will use

in your estimate. Properly written work estimates for tree pruning should be written in accor

dance with ANSI A300 standards.

• Remember that poor pruning can cause damage that lasts for the life of the tree.

• Assess your trees after a storm to see if there is pruning needed.
