Oak tree pruning. End weight reduction (Certified Arborist)

What's up tree people! In this video we are pruning a mature oak tree to increase house clearance and for end weight reduction to prevent large branches from failing. We are doing this while maintaining a natural structure of the tree.

Not to argue, but I wouldn't even call most of those little branches that you're leaving, suckers. They don't look epicormic at all to me. I would just call them laterals.

That’s a great point. I tried to simplify everything but you are absolutely right. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate your feedback!
