It is hearty through most of the northerly United States and in the alpine regions of the Rocky Mountains . This conifer is qualify by dense silver blasphemous - green needle - similar leaf . It may arise into a column that is up to 75 feet high and 25 feet broad . The blue spruce does not need pruning for hokey shaping , as it has a naturally pleasing shape already ; instead , it is commonly cut to take pathological limbs .
Step 1
Wait until the wintertime months to prune a healthy Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . This minimizes the amount of sap that the tree diagram will " leech " and protects the tree from bugs and disease . If your Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree has diseased or bug - infested branches , prune those at any time .
Step 2
Select the proper dick for cut item-by-item branches . discerp shears are appropriate for branches less than 1 inch in diameter ; pruning saws are suitable to use on larger branch . If pruning large trees , use a ravel .

Make a clean-living , angulate swing just outside the arm collar ( the portion of the branch that attaches to the bole ) . Start just outside the bark ridgepole in the ramification of the branch and angle your cut down and away from the trunk of the tree diagram .
