To safely and effectively cut branches off a tree, follow these steps: Use sharp and clean pruning tools to make clean cuts. Start by removing dead or diseased branches first. Cut branches at a slight angle just above a bud or branch collar. Avoid cutting too close to the trunk to prevent damage. Work slowly and carefully, and wear protective gear like gloves and goggles. Consider hiring a professional arborist for larger branches or trees.
It is generally recommended to trim or prune small branches growing from the base of the tree trunk. These branches are often referred to as suckers, and removing them can help promote healthier growth and improve the overall appearance of the tree.

Trim branches near the bottom of the trunk close to the trunk to allow access under the tree. Make the first cut several inches away from the tree trunk by cutting the underside of the branch with a pull-stroke handsaw. Only cut halfway through the branch. Align the saw blade with the cut that was just made. Cut from above to complete the cut. Repeat for the other lower branches on the tree.
