Is it possible to cut into the side of a N.E. Florida 60" diameter Live Oak tree without killing the tree? I need to make way for sidewalk and provide a 7' tall vertical "clear way " from the edge of the sidewalk up to 7 feet. Since the tree leans away from the sidewalk the deepest cut would be at the base of the tree 15" deep at ground level and taper up 7 feet to a 1 inch deep cut. After the cut should pruning seal be applied?
