Juvenile Tree Pruning

My Biggest Issue with DIY care is ignoring Trees!
These are assets that can not be easily replaced yet I seldom drive by a yard that doesn't have issues.
A few cuts here and there on a young tree can correct the growth pattern for decades. Pruning for a dominant leader (single trunk), removing water sprouts before they become unruly limbs, determining the structure of the tree by selecting limbs with the correct attachments, all are simple but crucial steps to have a beautiful tree in your yard for years and years to come.

I will put links to the side of sources explaining these simple steps - it's worth your time to do it right.
