When pruning cedars, cut off 8 to 12 inches of the leader. If possible, cut above a bud facing north. Cut the branches nearest the central leader a little shorter than the leader. Starr to create a pyramid shape. Leave enough needles on each branch or it will expose the interior of the tree. Work down the tree and leave plenty of new growth. 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.
