So nice to see when a young person learns from an expert. So many more youngsters should learn like this!

[petramundo]

love this! I plan to do a couple acres of them on my ABNB property. during Christmas time they will be able to stay and leave with a tree if they want. Thank you for the knowledge!

I've read that the time to trim is early spring before new shoots start. This video, like others, seems to be or are in mid summer.

Any thoughts?

I started in the business when I was younger than the kid. Now I am the grandfather. Sadly, I left that business in my 20's due to unfortunate circumstances. I still miss it though. When shearing, I never used anything other than a shearing knife. I was able to trim out the suckers and such with the knife as well as pruning shears. In retrospect though, having a pair of hand pruners in the back pocket would not be a bad idea. The hedge shears I would not recommend as it is too easy to ruin the shape of a tree with them and they are too heavy compared to a shearing knife.

Planning on buying a potted evergreen to use every year as our Christmas tree. This was very educational on making sure the tree will have a nice shape

Hope this young man is still learning, good job.

Please more of the tree being shared a note of the shearer!

Great vid. Is it possible to limit the height of the tree and keep the taper shape?

[motorniczy]

1)is it norway spruce
2) what's the distance between trees

[MrDoggy]

Are they pruned only in summer? When I want to cut a branch, where do I cut it so I don't kill it?

El niño esta tratando de aser lo mejor y eso ami megusta

[geoffhorvath]

When is the best time of year to prune?

[kylecatchpole]

you go with the taper of the tree no reason to waste time measuring the leader
