By the way BRT, that's a nice prune job on that hackberry you posted. I assume that was your work?

I don't know about the ones in VA but here in SC the brush is a nightmare from those things. Tangles on everything. Lots of right angles...

Sorry about the wait. This one should be easy, it is the middle tree.
