While doing an assessment at a client's house the other day, I came across this problem. These two are competing with eachother, and are starting to become tangled.
I'm pretty sure that they're improperly positioned as per proximity to one another, and that something needs to be done now, before it gets worse.
I was intending to deadwood and slightly thin the larger, multi-leadered elm. The smaller (an ash?) is a nicer tree for that spot, but wasn't sure if it would just end up a constant problem in that area.
What advice would you all offer?
