Living Tree Service Quoted in the Arizona Republic

March 11, 2013 By TreeAdmin 2 Comments

One of Dan’s quotes is below:

‘If the tree has no green foliage, you pretty much need to remove any branch that’s smaller than half an inch to three quarters of an inch in diameter,’ Dan Stevens says. ‘When you’re done, you’re left with all larger-diameter branches. The tree has an open structure to fill in all new, healthy growth.’

Thanks to Brian Kissinger of the Arizona Republic for a great article!

    I have a pine tree that is pushing up our block fence. I would like to have a quote in removing it. I live in Mesa. I have an alley and the tree is near powerlines.
