Most recommended pruning. I felt like I have pruned fairly heavily in the past, but maybe I’m wrong. Should I cut off major branches and get it back to maybe 20% of what is shown below?

Or over fertilizing? Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching - even when doing the wrong thing is legal. Aldo Leopold .. (except when it comes to trailer tags)
