Just a note, if you take a look at the new newsletter coming out you will see that we are having a tree planting class in October.  While at that class I am sure you can ask questions about pruning your trees and the best way to care for them.  The gentleman who is teaching the class is an absolute guru.  I know for a fact that he has been pruning trees since he was twelve in large orchards.  And since he is about as old as the dirt and trees he loves so much you couldn't ask for a better resource.  This class is being put on by the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association at no cost to anyone attending.
