Large Tucson Palo Verde pruned with commentary @ArboristAdvice

Nurturing the inner crown of any tree, especially mesquites and Palo Verdes, is extremely important for the future of a strong scaffolding system.  This Palo Verde in downtown Tucson spent many years with its inner crown removed which led to weakness and length and finally breakage. This video documents this Palo Verde’s first structural pruning which is the first step to changing the growth pattern to thickness and strength and a much longer life.
