I asked this question in the fall, and received no advice, I would like to try again. A client of mine has a crab apple tree in her yard. It is close to the house for one thing, also, the tree is in very good health, and in full bloom, she is concerned the weight of the apples will damage the limbs. Whether or not you agree with trimming the tree or not, she would like it done, I would greatly appreciate advice on the best way to trim this tree back a little. Regards Rob M.
Sawzall it is. I only have a metal cutting blade though, oh well. Too bad I have to cut the 5 Blue Spruce trees to get to the crab apple tree.
