My neighbor has several very tall Parasol trees that lean over my house and drop huge leaves. I'm hoping if he cut the trunk in half, they would sprout out at a lower level. Thanks
Yes, but keep in mind that some taller trees can branch in such a way that make them unstable. Just be sure to cut off any branches that have too steep of an angle. They are likely to split and fall as they age.
