look at that thick bahk!
I had a big tree pruned a while back. These guys were amazing. I didn’t realize what a science it was.
throw it into the neighbors pool through the fence?
Dang those saws are sharp!
Throw it in the neighbors yard, let them clean it up.
Why, it's not their tree!
Great video, thank you!
Good job!
Thanks. It seems so logical but I never thought about it.
Great !!
I had a sugar maple with criss crossing branches. I pruned them to the collar as you should. My question, being end of March, should a pruning sealer be used to prevent excess sap loss?
it should heal by itself.
So basically... need to prune a large tree? Call a professional to climb up it? lol
Came here for info how to do it myself and it's obvious I can't lol
After I pruned my large tree next to my pool I noticed my neighbors wife is always looking through her bedroom blinds and staring at me while I sun bathe near the pool.
hell yeah
go Andry! LOL
When Andy Murray isnt playing tennis hes climbing trees.
Interesting to hear this in a coarse Eastern accent.
Not a bad video.
Just remember, DON'T TEAR BARK, and, DON'T LEAVE A BRANCH STUB.
We could have used a bit more info about that weeping branch you cut right in the middle.
2 hands on the saw
It will grow back really big

So you don't put a sealer over the large cut offs?
No. Recent studies have shown that pruning sealer slows down the healing process of the tree.
Pole saw ? Tie in + climb the tree!
Is that Matt or Roger in the white hard hat? Don't let me catch you again without a safety glasses. Deal? Lol!
She wants to sample your kielbasa
Hey Andy, missed you!
At 3:15 it says to cut mid branch. OK if you say so, myself I hate to make a pruning cut mid branch.
it looks like they took way, way too much off, i'd be shocked if this tree wasn't dead months later
I hate this way of pruning. I always start at the end of branch. Get it to lift up and shape it. If it doesn't work out them remove the main beam
throw it into the neighbors pool through the fence?
you are making your top cut on the wrong side, if you cut a large branch using this method it will rip the saw out of your hands
please talk about ask boring beetle and elm disease... 40% of the city trees in Ottawa canada are dying ...my dad thing dog pee is killing out big maple tree..every dog takes a piss there..grrrrrr.
It's called a pine beetle
+Tryinglittleleg its a maple tree .. but i guess they eat all trees .. ash.. elm.. oak.. pine.. spruce.. fir.. all dead.. only way to kill the little bastards is cut the tree down n burn the wood
Look up “Emerald Ash Borer” and “Dutch Elm Disease” - I believe these are probably what your talking about. I’m in the Kansas City metro area and we have the same problems. There are treatments for both issues if you act ahead of time. The problem is that most people don’t act preventatively... Call a local *certified* arborist that does treatments ☺️
@@san379 Wow. I dont even remember making this comment.
Dog urine couldn't kill a mature maple tree lol. Your dad sounds like a dog hater.
This is not even close to a large tree. It'd say it's a small tree at best.
I wan't to put a link here to show people how to properly trim a tree but you don't explain why you cut the first branch (the one on the opposite side of the branches hanging into the neighbors yard). In Los Angeles, the tree trimmers have no ideas how to trim a tree. This video leaves out too much info. Please add before and after photos.
Why even getting a weeping willow if you're going to do a mediocre pruning job and make the tree look pitiful? These people took way more off than what is required.
they took way, way too much off, i'd be shocked if this tree wasn't dead months later
PLACE MUD ON ALL CUT AREAS LEFT ON TREES.
where your ppe. poor video
Poor grammar
You guys completely ruined that beautiful tree.
Professional tree climber lol omg in my childhood I was a Professional tree climber and climbed much bigger trees without any support...Guess we were extra pros...Im looking more for ideas we're to cut them to make sure I don't make any issues to tree...anyone can climb the tree 😉
lots of pruning nerds in the comment section.
