Luckily, I just had him cut a few dead branches at the bottom so at least it's not going up the entire tree. He was trimming my neighbors tree and I just figured I'd see if he could trim a couple branches for me.What did the spike climber do when he got in the canopy?
One type of tree abuse usually indicates others due to the fact that the 'arborist' doesn't know much about trees.
What if I'm cutting down a live tree?Dont spike live trees.
Dean: Doesn't sound like anything that will be a problem - prune this fall or winter. I'd suggest starting a new thread specific to your question and posting a few pictures. Make good pruning cuts. Don't underestimate how much a 4" long limb can weigh - especially when being dropped. Don't prune them from a ladder!!!I have a question. I have a maple tree that's about 50 feet tall and maybe 24 inches in diameter at the base. I'm wanting to cut a few limbs off that are reaching too close to the roof. The biggest one is about 4 inches in diameter. These are mainly lower limbs. Will it hurt to trim these off and if not, when would be the best time of year to trim?
