If they have the room, they are better left alone, all the branches kind of shelter and support each other and less likely to disintergrate like they do. |
Hers a pic of a reserve local to me where they have had all the low stuff removed.
There are continued problems with failures here and several have already been removed. A couple were turned into the most pathetic chainsaw sculptures youve ever seen. The hippy in his combi van nearly got paid as much as the crew that TD'd about 10 big trees!
