So many commenters who don’t know why or what they were watching 🤦🏻‍♂️ The type of people who can’t see the forest for the trees. I appreciate the advice!! I have been pruning a very large live oak that has never been pruned. It’s at least 35 years old, 50’ y’all and 60’ wide. I’m taking off the lower 15-20’ of branches as they impact mine and my back neighbor’s houses. I just bought the home and the enter lot is like this. I was trying to determine the proper spot to make my final cut (I left 12” of each branch to be safe). Now I know where to make my cut, thank you!

Thanks. Really great video. I really like the three step approach.

[@tonymolina2523]

Would be nice if the camera man actually paid attention and pointed the camera to the area youre describing the entire time instead of keeping the camera on you.

These "ehow" videos are made by the person talking and then sent in to this company. They pay you to create a video and then they make all the money from the views. That's why 87% of them have terrible information... it's from people who know little about the subject matter / video making / editing, but want extra income (probably not much though).

I know Im quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online ?

[@nadronnocojr]

Dude. Relax. …..listen. It’s not that difficult

[@Yotaciv]

Probably just wants you to pay Davey to do it lol

[@billhull6842]

What is your opinion on the tree wound spray?

[@john914]

can't see what you're talking about.

[@stumpfarm3714]

Oak wilt? There are certain times of the year or you shouldn’t be pruning oak trees. Check with your state DNR for safe pruning months.

[@jolap9344]

Shouldn't you trim the oak trees in January - March? One might as well skip first 4:30 minutes as it's talk only since camera doesn't show what he is explaining and talking about.

[@JeffroDH]

Spring is a bad time to prune oak trees, as it's peak season for the transmission of oak wilt disease. Late summer/fall pruning is best.

[@treborterb]

@@JeffroDH Actually...late fall through winter is best to avoid transmission of oak tree wilt...late november to march 1st here in the northeast

[@kmac1766]

Great video! Thank you!

[@Thoughtfulbuildsllc]

3cut method always!!

[@mitchjohnson4714]

Wow. So many negative comments. Yeah, the camera work should be improved, but haven’t you ever looked at a tree? Look at the tree you’re cutting. You can see what he’s talking about just fine there.

[@Thoughtfulbuildsllc]

You don’t know how many houses I’ve been to where the homeowner just cut the branches back and leave long dead branches and branches that turn dead on the tree

[@mitchjohnson4714]

Better than wounding the trunk.

[@brianwideman2342]

No we can't notice the bark because the camera is focused on you and not the bark.

[@Cpennington57]

Brian Wideman are you blind??

[@robertb2744]

5 minutes and 30 seconds for something that should have taken 5.3 seconds....

[@colomacountry]

But for 80 percent of this video.. let's talk about safety for awhile...

[@geologist_luna]

Appreciate the video, thanks for the information.

[@user-sz5np6dt8b]

Good video

[@xyzllii]

LOL...Lego man with a saw.

[@jessiepellegrin1156]

Get to the point about pruning the trees!

[@johnwestwood9669]

Now where did I put my old hard hat, plus all my several changes of protective clothing?!

[@frank1908]

Too bad we can't see any of those areas you are pointing to as you explain this because we have no idea where you are pointing. smh

[@willdickem3853]

Good info lol but you can definitely tell this guy in not from the south

[@bigvato123456789]

Well... that was boring

[@sucapizda]

That Karen of tree pruning.

[@crownlandscaping7401]

Only came here to see how terrible yet another eHow video was. I was not disappointed.

[@elpimpdiaz7938]

That’s not a perfect cut sorry to say that the cut is not even both sides for the tree they going to take much longer to recovery the injury

[@Thiccgator]

Dude spent the whole video yapping
