Pruning terrifies me. It's easy to do wrong. Wrecking is easy. Take it down, don't break shit.
I like those those trees Stephen. I may have said that last time they came up. The wispy foliage is attractive and makes nice shadowing on the house.
Well. you did a good job with it anyway. It looks pretty good. For me, "lawn mower access" is a non-starter regarding trees. I give no consideration to grass, and that's what I'd remove if there was a conflict.
A 1950s movie star found his acting prospects dry up during the radical 60s, and he tried to get work where he could. Opening the classifieds one day, he saw a help wanted ad for Davey, and his life was never the same afterward...

Good pics :^)
I can buy the 'no holes' part. Couldn't you use a wire done in a rope style(loops instead of anchors), or is that not done?

Assuming 'give' in the system isn't desired, as it is in your case.
Getting off topic, but that seems counterproductive from an evolutionary standpoint. I wonder what the *pheromones are used for?

What's the for and against regarding painting tree wounds? I know it used to be fairly common, but fell out of favor some time ago. I'm guessing you painted the wound to prevent some action starting the mistletoe again? I'm not familiar at all with mistletoe. If we have any around here, no one's...
Chemical treatment would stress me out a bit if removal and treatment were equal options. I'd hate to say a tree could be saved, then have it go and die a year later. Makes you look stupid, and adds expense for the owner.
