#stitch with @treeman03911 #doctortreeman I say Spike everything it is much safer for the human that is cutting. trees should never be pruned anyway That's like cutting someone's arm off and leaving them. I'd rather remove the tree then trim any day. The damage you're doing with the cuts is exactly the same as spiking into the park. sometimes I feel like spiking is good on some trees when you trim because the tree will actually grow out of the spike marks.
