I'm doing some deadwood hazard pruning on a Honey Locust. About 8 years ago the tree was hacked on a pruning job. Whoever did the work left 2 ft. stubs on some 10" or so diameter limbs. At this point would it help or hurt the tree to trim the stubs correctly closer to the branch collar? The tree is 90+ feet and is old but healthy for its age. It's a slow grower now and is no longer producing many thorns or any fruit. I'm figuring for an older tree any cut into live wood must be considered as to risk/benefit for the tree.
