I have a maple tree in my yard that has been in the ground a about 2.5 years now. Someone mentioned in passing to me that one of the branches should have been removed when the tree was younger by the people who sold and planted it for me. I don't know much about trees and am curious to get some help in determining whether or not the branch can or should be cut off now. I have attached a couple pictures of the tree. The branch in reference is the left one coming off the main trunk. It is a rather large branch and cutting it off would make the tree look worse and lopsided now, but would it be better in the long run? Or am I better off just leaving it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
