Cherry Blossom Tree
I have a cherry blossom tree to prune in late summer but the length of each leading branch needs reducing by over 50 % ideally by more to ensure it does not encroach customers neighbours property wall and increase light .Also lots of criss crossing and rubbing branches to remove Is this too much pruning to do in one go for a cherry blossom tree which is 20 feet in height or should the pruning be staggered to give it a chance to recover .Thanks
