So their is this tree, it's a London Plane tree. It has a major vine problem, the customer wants me to prune it. I went and looked at it today realizing that the vine problem is the most significant problem. It looks like it has been topped at one time but it is hard to see with all the vine. That is my assumption based upon the branches growing straight up and most of the other Plane trees on the block have been topped too. I don't see much as far as trimming other than a little elevation over the house and street. All the other Plane trees that have been topped seemed to have healed pretty well from the topping.
My question is how do you think I should go about removing the vines? I was thinking a handsaw would be best in order to keep from injuring the tree. Do you think I could use a small top handle chainsaw on the larger lower vines if i'm careful? The thing is I think this is going to be a very time consuming task and I want to do a good job.
