It might be something to consider, that you can't know which branch could die off, and your pruning may take a branch that would otherwise live. Aren't the branches somewhat related to the specific roots that feed them? So if a root on one side is lost in collecting, removing a branch from the other side of the tree could mean more damage and still not save the branch related to that root?
