This video shows "before, during and after", the process of pruning a young maple. The tree was getting too big for the space and shading the lawn heavily. No actual cutting is shown, juts shots of the tree. There is a lot of talking about the pruning process that may be helpful for newbies and those that want to learn some pruning basics. The rest of you are sure to be bored by all the chatter!
NOTE: because of the species, youth, vigor of this tree, a very large percentage of the green leafy material was removed, MUCH MORE than would be acceptable for the vast majority of trees. With pruning, normally less is more, but the client needed this tree cut back hard to fit the space and allow for a lot more light, and this particular tree could handle it well.
