My client was worried he would have to remove this tree because it was growing into the eaves and reaching out into the walkway too much. It had not been pruned for the first 15 years of its life.
I said, "No! It's a perfect opportunity for aesthetic pruning to save this tree and maximize its potential."
I re-leadered to a branch growing in a direction that harmonizes with the line of the roof. The tree's branch layers became fuller and stronger over the years, forming a feather-shaped espalier that embraces and graces the house.
