Re: Competing Trees Excellent comments so far. When 2 trees compete, I prune to favor the longer-lived asset, which is probably NOT the siberian elm. I'd go clear to the top and remove or reduce anything on the elm that prevents the ash/maple from growing vertical.
Agree that full risk/phc assessment is job 1, and I hope you are being paid for that and not sucked into the "free estimate" trap. |
