Thoughtful commentary as always. I see a lot of these problems consistently here in southwest Florida. Our live oaks (Quercus Virginiana I think) grow very slowly and spread farther out than up, and so people prune them mercilessly, often leaving large wounds.

After watching your videos, I cringe when I think of the damage I have in the past done to my trees through improper pruning. All is not lost, however, as I salvage what wood I can to turn bowls.

We've all had bad experiences with ants, but my WORST was that old black and white "B" movie from the fifties. They didn't show them till the end. (Like all the cool monster movies) At about a foot long, their faces looked like they had just received a VERY high tree bid! Good stuff here on an unfortunately common problem.

I've rarely seen a large branch removal, even with a perfect cut, heal before the rot goes deep. I tell customers it's the difference in cutting off a finger versus arm. Usually it's an unavoidable situation but I know the likely outcome isn't great.

I don’t recommend limb removal unless justified by decay or cracks.

I'm learning so much about why I've seen trees with failed limbs while out for my walks over the years, one day while out for a walk I noticed that a branch on a tree that my partner and I frequently stand under to watch the kingfishers flying by had developed a crack, it seems that the limb had been twisting due to too much weight being left on one side of it after what i would have called unnecessary pruning was done during a much hotter than usual summer a year ago to make it easier to get under the tree, well about a week later we where in the same spot and I noticed that the whole limb was now gruesomely twisted and looked like It was seconds away from failure... sure enough just as we where walking away there was an almighty bang and crack with which the limb came crashing down and into the river, the 25 degree Celsius (77°F ) Scottish sun had been blasting this limb since it had been meddled with, the poor thing didn't stand a chance

How long does it take for trees, to grow their leaves back when the spring comes around?

Such a shame to lose a great tree. Could you or do you have in your archives a video teaching us how to make the proper cut when pruning those limbs to hopefully avoid the future decay. Thanks

You know, I'm 62 years old... I'm never gonna bid a tree job... I'm not working anymore... I'm not a tree guy, but, gardener at best... I don't know why you ask people for input bidding a hazardous tree with metal and cables?... I would get offended at idiot customers with hostile or dangerous situations or cleaning up their messes... Get a land clearing specialist for that! If the job has hazards, the customer pays for every broken chain and every broken or damaged piece of equipment... Also, the customer pays for every minute of my decking around to avoid hazards or do things the right way! That's why I always charged by the hour, Pruning or tree work, $35.00/hr. Simple!

I would tend to agree with you, that tree is really in bad shape. It definitely doesn't have much time left, lots of die back and major decay spreading into the main trunk. If it were mine I probably would have had it removed. But it is the client's tree, and if they aren't ready to lose it yet and the tree can be pruned in a way to make it safe enough then it ends up staying, even if the tree does have only a few years before it gets so bad it simply has to go
