So every tree on my property is now fully trimmed.
There are still some ones in the right-of-way I might need a crew to take down branches over my roof, but on the property itself, every problem branch had been removed. The only ones within 15’ of the ground I even don’t fully endorse are shoots I’m gonna let gather energy this year and then suck it down in fall to thicken the downstream branches before trimming.
Like, I’m really proud of myself, when I first moved in 6 years ago I didn’t even know you had to trim back to forks rather than cutting to length like hair, now strangers stop me on the street to compliment my trees.
