• Trimming 2022 growth: 1.5/3

Went out front with the polesaw and knocked almost everything out, last time had been a little slow cause a nut was loose and energy that shoulda pulled the saw was spent on bending the blade. Some dead branches off the mimosa central trunk but they’re either too close to power lines or in a sector I want to block up and use canopy shyness to keep anything else from wasting effort anyway, I’ll just let them rot to blow down.

Probably a quarter-day left to get like one branch and cut it up for Strawberry Ridge. Half a day if I notice stuff from the ground from the furthest-away branches of the side trees that I didn’t cutting from the higher ground inside the retaining wall. I’ll have to get professionals to clear up some stuff that threads through the power lines, though, I should do that this winter so it doesn’t waste growth elongating them in spring.

Also one-shotted a lot of twigs and waterspouts on the mimosa, but that was part of what I meant by “trim 2022 growth”.
