Looking at the pruning saw, more important than the secteurs. Needs to be sharp or else not fit for purpose. Cut on the back stroke. Japanese silky fox. Removing a branch which is to low, to show how to use the saw. Not touching the tree. Stabalise by holding the branch. It goes right through in two cuts. Definitive pruning cut up against the collar.
