I finally get on board with your crown reduction ideas and you call it a pot shot.
Tell me why a valuable tree that is to tall, can't be crown reduced to the height of surrounding trees to prevent lightening attraction. It would surely be cheaper than installing all the cable and hardware.
And talking about pot shots, you're still picking on a persons spelling???
And on to invasive tree speices. If you have ever seen what norway maples do when they move into a native Wisconsin forest, you'd understand. They become a monoculture of trees with a canopy so dense the only thing that can grow under them is Garlic Mustard (an invasive bi-annual that is also taking over WI forests) and buckthorn (yet another invasive). All three are also heavy seed producers, very prolific, and fast growing.
I hope that helps you understand why they breed contempt.
And finally, what is wrong with saying it's rare we get the easy tree removals?
It's a simple fact. Most easy removals get done for free for the wood by a woodtick, by the homeowner himself, or buy a freind with a chainsaw.
Heck, you got three potshots in one post!
