The process of removing dead branches (limbs are on trees) from plants is known as pruning. The benefits of pruning are to promote the plant’s overall health and improve the plant’s appearance.
Pruning involves making a 45-degree cut with scissors or pruning sheers at the dead, dying or diseased parts of the branches. Making the cut at this angle will ensure continual, healthy growth. Always examine the newly cut section on the plant to ensure no further diseased or dead areas exist. Regular pruning also prevents branches from obscuring views, growing onto sidewalks, and intertwining with other plants, shrubs and trees.
Removing the dead branches will also help the plant to grow quicker. Not removing the branches will eventually cause the plant to wilt and die.
