Hi all!
todays whilst I was working a shari into a juniper I got very very close to eliminating the live vein of the tree. For now I have buried the point of the tree into a lot more soil as I panicked, however my question is; Is there a minimum size the live vein must be? Is it possible for the live vein to be, too small?

Without a doubt you can cut too much at once and kill everything above where this happens.rockkcorful wrote:Hi all!

Generally we cut small amounts each year to achieve the desired thickness.
As has been stated, a photo would aid in answering whether you have cut too much.

There are many ways to do things, but only one "best" way.
