    Yea, I have been meaning to get some solid tires. I don't how long I'll be able to deal with it, because I really have much more of a...

    He said "heavy". If the angle works, and the branch ratio works that's better than removal... or breaking. Other options: Yellow line...

    Yeah, they need structural pruning when young!

    Dang, that’s pretty heavy back to something at a funky angle. I’d try going further out than that by another 50% if possible or even...

    I should add, I reduced that left side about 10-15ft four years ago. While climbing I was wondering if I should have been putting a...

    That is exactly where I was thinking if I reduced to the furthest point possible. The picture really doesn’t do justice to how lateral...

    Or use something like Branch Saver that is textile and the angle won't matter as much.

    Why not just remove the left side? Are they poor compartmentalizers? Not a species I have deep knowledge of. I would be inclined to...
