How far up do you trim trees?
Pruning is an important part of maintaining your landscape. If you are pruning your tree to raise it, remember the rule of thirds: One-third trunk to two-thirds canopy. If you tree is really young, try to leave the lower branches on for awhile because they increase the caliper (diameter) of the tree more quickly.
