Is it safe to chop large lateral branches almost flush with the tree? Specifically asking for a Korean Hornbeam. Or do we leave some of the twig there to make sure it doesn't die back into the trunk? I'm torn because I want to chop it now so it heals fast, but leaving a stump there would defeat the purpose of healing fast because I'd have to chop it again.
