    Good morning! Your tree pruning tips are spot on but for one type of tree. Here in south central Texas we have Live Oak trees, we have 2 in our front yard. Our arborist (as well as TX state websites) say if pruning a Live Oak it can only be done during winter and must have the tree sealant sprayed after every cut. Oak Wilt disease will attack otherwise and take out an entire neighborhood of them . It is a must to seal those cuts on Live Oaks here. I had never had a tree that required it but I’m glad our arborist gave us the info before something bad happened 🌿💚😊
