Thank you, Carl, for suggesting that to Larry. That is the kind of suggestion that you can't get in books. It shows a WAY to think about pruning, and that is very useful for everyone to know.

Posts like this, the day to day seeing of trees and discussion of options, is a priceless exchange, and is as close to personal training as most of us are likely to get. We can accept or reject the thought based on our own preferences, but the accumulation of suggestions and hints really adds up quickly. Real trees, real situations, instead of line drawings and idealizations.

By golly, this forum is great!
