At some point a decision will have to be made.
Hi
I am in Washington State. I have a couple of Doug Fir with Dwarf Mistletoe in some of the lower branches. The broom has not spread to the trunk. Aside from the mistletoe the trees look healthy. These are some substantial trees (20" dia) that I would rather not loose. The branches are the lowest branches on the trees but they are still about 25' up. What is the best way to trim the branches. Climb with spikes (never done it), rope saw, ladder, really long pole saw, or ????.
Any idea's would be appreciated.
