Since it dropped its leaves this spring, I'm letting it recover and grow out a bit before pruning it back, then I'll thin it and probably add some wire. You're right, it's just a mass of green right now.I don't like this tree. I can't see the tree on the inside of all that foliage, and I'm pretty sure there's something magnificent inside there. I think if the foliage was plucked to allow the viewer to see the architecture holding up all those leaves such that clouds of leaves held above major branches were exposed, this could be a striking design worth a lot of commentary and probably plaudits. This tree needs to get plucked.
Oops. Chojubai@Forsoothe! & @erich_raudebaugh you owe the thread a picture of your trees. Beware of which thread you are posting in (See post 1 i this thread).
