Reply to comment by [deleted] in Japanese Maple Pruning by dances-with-poodles

I have a few Japanese maple trees, and they’re all challenging, but this is awesome advice especially for the Waterfall. Trimming the sideways branches obstructing other branches will be a pretty straightforward method I think I could handle. The one that’s really confusing to me is the Twombly’s red Sentinel. It’s supposed to be columnar but most of its new growth is in the direction of the sun. So I’ve got 3 big branches at the “front” that are projecting out from closer to the base, preventing it from being a true “column”. But they’re pretty substantial branches at this point, so I don’t want to stub them but I also don’t want to loose all of their foliage coverage closer to the trunk. I haven’t really ever used yelp to be honest, but that’s a good recommendation. I guess I’d be looking for “ornamental arborists”? It’s pretty niche, but I’ll check it out. I’ve only ever hired an arborist for complete tree removal of a 30’ pine, so I don’t think I’d rely on them with these trees.

This is awesome - thank you. It looks like they do ornamental trees, so I’ll definitely reach out. I actually have one that’s more of a waterfall style, for which I semi-understand the general shaping method, but my Twombly’s red sentinel is totally stumping me. It’s supposed to be columnar and there are a few branches that I’m having a hard time making decisions on, and then if they go, where is the best place to cut. I swear these trees are so complex. I think an expert would really help me.

Yeah, that was it. I don't think it matters if you are 3 inches off the ground or 3 feet. Off the ground equals permit.

I think it really comes down to if you doing a shed or a deck with a shed on it. Sheds aren't something you spend a lot of time in, unlike being on a deck. I was looking at sheds recently and the main question was whether it was for tool storage or something else (backyard bar, she shed, etc.). Tool storage, no permit required. Something other than tool storage, possibly a permit would be required.

“ Serfs had more rights than slaves (for example, serfs could own property). However, they were not completely free. They could not move, marry, or leave the manor without the lord’s permission. In most serfdoms, serfs were legally part of the land. If the land was sold, they were sold with it.”

Yes, that’s exactly what I described Mr. strawman

My man wants to go back to the good ole days...feudalism...oh wait the lords still provided housing for the serfs. You may want to stop kissing your Ayn Rand books every time you go to bed but yeah these takes of yours are ghoulish.

Oh gosh I should have recognized that something as subtle as slang would be difficult for you given your trouble with the overt language above. To clarify, I was referencing the phrase “thick headed” which is a colloquialism referring to difficulty understanding a topic or concept. I was pointing out that you are having great difficulty understanding that no one in this entire post is implying that the big tittied hentai should be banned. I’m sorry if I lead you on, good luck in your search for love, and a clue.

Also being the only person to downvote someone doesn’t mean they are wrong it means you are petty and likely wrong.
