3/7
Pruning Terms:
-trunk : main middle, vertical section of the tree
-leader branches : those coming directly from the trunk
-bud: has leaf or flower potential. There are terminal buds, auxiliary buds, flower buds, and latent buds.
-node: shows promise of growth/ popping to branch
-codominance: two leader branches where in one, bark becomes included and will eventually cause a split.
-drop crotch: a branch coming out of a branch. To prune, cut down to the crotch.
-branch collar: prune above and outside of the collar.
-woundwood: develops when properly pruned outside of the collar.
-proper cut: is at a 45 degree angle, far enough above node to allow for new growth, and above the line of the bark collar of the tree.
