I have a Sitka Spruce that's about 75' tall and about 24" in diameter. It's about 12" from the corner of my cabin at the coast.
When the winds get over 75 mph (which is failry common) it actually starts crushing the gutters of the cabin. (although it doesn't lean enough to touch the structure).
I'd like to shave off a slice or notch about 2-3" thick and about 12" long to give it a little more clearance.
Will this hurt the tree?? It's very healthy and I don't want it removed but I'd really like another 2-3" clearance.
