[QUOTE="CDTS447, post: 7353741, member: 162103"] So I've run into this a few times where large limbs (6-12 inches+) need to be reduced in order to protect property or the tree itself. There are no good cuts to subordinate the limb to as most of these limbs are lions tailed where well-meaning customers have pruned wherever they can reach making these limbs long and tip-heavy. Where a limb must be reduced, but no good place to cut without bringing the limb to the main stem, should I consider a heading cut a few feet from the bole in lieu of exposing heart wood or is it best to just prune to the bole and hope the tree recovers well enough? Worth noting that these are all mature trees and pruning dosages are being adhered to. Example attached. [/QUOTE]
