Incorrect Pruning Habits

It's a good practice to never remove more than one-third of the leaf mass from your tree during each pruning cycle. Removing more than a third of the canopy of a tree is not an acceptable practice during the normal course of pruning and can harm your tree, especially in mature trees.
