Greetings to all, this is my first post and wanted to ask what you thought about pruning this large Red Oak. My thoughts are, obviously to remove the dead in the middle of the tree but wanted you opinion on removing the limbs that are growing down...would that be too much removal to stay within the 20-25% removal at a given time. This tree is probably 6 feet at the base. What is the largest limb one can safely remove without rot setting in? I have yet to do any Oaks but have repeatedly dealt with Maples that have been topped and seen the damage that causes. This will be a selective pruning, not a top. Thanks in advance...Greg
