or not depending on your point of view. Yesterday my two Arborists came and removed a lot of the lower branches of the Silver Birch beside the Driveway, it was so overgrown you couldn't get the cars down. They always spend a lot of time walking around, looking at the shape etc. Often one stands away and directs the other where to cut. They have now pulled it back into shape, a difficult job because it has more than one leader. They then removed the lower canopy of my huge olive tree, I could not walk around or under it.
Both trees now look stunning. Whilst I am a believer in letting trees and shrubs to their own thing in the wilds, sometimes in domestic situations they do need a helping hand. Mrs Bouquet
