Tom,

Do you know if Precision has these 2 backyard sucker trees on the to-do
list during the mid-season pruning?

I have tied an orange ribbon around the 2 tree trunks to identify them.
These two trees, one about 2″ in diameter and the other about 3″, both
about 12 feet tall, appear to be pear tree suckers that have grown from the
root system of a pear tree that was removed years ago. The two trees are
now against the rain gutters and roofs. It would be best to remove both
trees before they cause any damage and get any larger and more costly to
remove.

Both homeowners have requested/approved the removal.

Thank you,
Jim Becker
