I know this sounds hilarious, but you have to understand … I have been known to drive around with these puppies and my gardening gloves in my car — you know, in case something needs a good trim? The biggest problem when I can’t find something I need is that I find other things to do. And look! I have a nice pair of loppers in my garage!
So … you get the picture. Poor Japanese Maple, your one branch was just a little too close to my head and it shaded the south edge of my garden just a few minutes too many. Half of the two-trunked Oregon Ash got it with a saw too. I guess the pine is lucky I finally found the pruners, because some blackberries pushing their boundary line got it instead of a third tree.
