Oops posted before I saw your reply BVF. I understand now what you are saying. To really make this tree better I should try to prune for even better shorter taper. Is that it in a nutshell ? I can do that, not trying to be defensive or anything. Thanks for the advice, I will go home today, get out the cutters and take a deep breath .....
That's it in a nutshell...but again, I'm looking at one photo. Even as it sits, it's a nice tree.
It's important to note that hard pruning is partly to remove defects, and since you've already gone this far, be darn sure you don't leave anything you view as defective, or you'll be right back here again...
