Thank you this was really helpful. I have a large sugar maple that’s never been pruned. When we get high winds, I am concerned about it tipping over. Also all the branches are rubbing on each other and it’s generally a mess.

Thank whoever shared this helpful videos about ansi A 300 for pruning one of the part l like when you said that topping is not the best option to reduce the risk on tree they become more dangerous because the new grows are weak attach on the steam but well some people think if they go aggressive on trees they do not have to treemming back for at least another 5 years is the negative respond on trees they grow like crazy uncontrollable and become a potential risk not only for your property pedestrians and vehicles would be affected.

What is the best way for tree to heal without decay, when removing large leads. I’ve seen where they remove a 24” lead from an oak, it was dressed to heal the wound, but the center cracked wide open

[@moshkid16]

Wound dressing won't do anything to protect the tree from insect or disease. What should be done is a hesding cut where the lead is reduced or subordinated over time to an acceptable level of risk. The centers will crack wide open because the tree can't compartmentalize the damage in enough time to seal off the wound. Older slower growing tree species do not respond to healing as fast as a younger faster growing species will.
