The live Oaks are dropping their leaves pretty heavily in preparation for the new growth. We finally are getting some good moisture as we speak, but I need to do some trimming.
I am afraid I have waited too long to trim heavily on these trees, but would some one give me some advice?
I have a large number 100+ large old live oaks on the place and many have limbs that drop almost to the ground. I want to raise the canopy, but am afraid of removing 10+" dia. limbs to do so.
They are not fairing well because we have been lacking in good percolation due to a major infestation of mesquite. I left the area for a number of years and am back and trying to clean the place up. I am removing the mesquite to allow more ground moisture for forage grasses as well as the decidedly more asthetic trees on the property.
Anything would help.
Thanks
