Please advise on the correct pruning technique for an African milk tree.
You've got this! Just be gentle, and I'd recommend wearing gloves because the sap can irritate your skin. And make sure the scissors you use are super sharp. Pruning in the spring or early summer is best.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind: wear gloves to protect your skin from the sap, and use a sharp knife or scissors. When it comes to pruning, start by identifying damaged or unsightly leaves. The best time to prune is in the spring and summer. Make clean cuts, prune the shape, and avoid overpruning. Finally, allow the wounds to heal.
