Changed my mind about topping oaks after a disaster in Austin last June
I used to think topping big oaks was fine for storm safety until I saw a crew top a 60 foot live oak on my street and half of it fell on a house 18 months later. The tree put out a ton of weak regrowth that snapped right off in a thunderstorm. Anybody else have a moment where they realized a common practice was way riskier than they thought?
