River birch trimming?
I have 6 river birches in my back yard ranging from 7 to about 10ft. I'm a complete novice to pruning/trimming. Some have brances from the ground up, two of which have the smaller trees with them. Two seem to have not grown leaves on the top approx. 1.5 ft., one of which lost leaves on close branches near top. These two don't have brances low, but have some odd long ones out of the side. They were planted fall of '99 and I live in what is called the "sandhills" of SC. How should I go about pruning them or should I? Pat
