Hey!
I posted a question a few weeks ago and must have put it in the wrong place - so, I'm going to try again. I'd really like some feed back.
We have encountered five maple trees in our area that have been topped by other services. All five trees have that distinctive long leggy growth typical of water sprouts. Consequently, the owners have asked us to reduce the growth. Other than waiting until these trees are dormant, what techniques are available to restore the natural appearance of these trees (even though they will never have the natural branch structure again).
Thanx
