This weekend I spent some more time trimming a limb on one of my backyard trees.

Last week I started the process of taking the big limb down. See: Trimming a Limb

Here is what it looked like at the start of my work on Saturday.

After slowly cutting with my pole saw I finally had more parts of the limb on the ground .

I cleaned up these limbs before tackling another section.

For the last big section I took down yesterday I was able to get high enough with my ladder and use a bigger saw.

I only took the small branches off of the limb and will cut it into sections later.

Perhaps next weekend I will cut the limb all the way back to the trunk.

Then I will just have a few smaller limbs to cut back and the tree will be in pretty good shape.

Now to remember to put some of the pieces in the yard waste tomorrow evening.
