Sorry...I deleted the original message requesting this info.

The only pointer I can give is to cut the branches at the forks.
Cut as close as possible to the small ring at the base of the
branch.  This ring will close over the cut to seal it.
Don't leave any branches attached without sufficient leaves
to support their growth.  How many is sufficient?  Beats me,
most trees will add foliage to support the branch if there
are buds and there is sufficient light.

The important thing here is not to leave a short piece of
the branch attached to the tree.  The piece will die and
provide a place for disease to start.
