Howdy all,
I have several small sugar maples in my yard that have some crotches that I am concerned will become weak as the tree gets larger. I thought it would be best to do the pruning while the trees are still relatively small and the trauma will be fairly easy for the tree to overcome. Better to do it now than to wait and let Mother Nature do it for me years down the road!
Please take a look at the attached pictures and let me know what you think.
