Abstract

Pruning is a very useful silvicultural treatment both for improving the final quality of a stand and for controlling certain pests. However, pruning causes wounds that the tree must close as quickly as possible. Knowing a few facts about tree anatomy allows us to carry out this operation efficiently while preserving the tree's health.
