The leaves had not been needle plucked for a long time and had about 5 years growth on them. The tree needed hard pruning ti induce back budding for the new branches, and the needle plucking would allow air and light to reach the interior and stimulate bud growth.
The tree from the back, showing the multitude of branches to choose from. There is some wagon spoke areas that will need attention, and the branches need wire to put them where they need to be.
