Cut back ends of branches and reduce weight where excessive overburden appears <br /> likely to result in breakage of supporting limbs. <br /> <br /> f. Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of eight (8) feet above <br /> ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably <br /> damaged by such pruning action. <br /> g.

Removing any live branches, which interfere with the tree's structural strength and <br /> healthful development, will include the following: <br /> 1) Limbs of weak structure or otherwise hazardous. <br /> 2) Selective removal of limbs obstructing buildings or other structures or traffic <br /> signs. Generally, limbs closer than five (5) feet to a building or other structure <br /> should be removed unless doing so would severely damage a tree. <br /> <br /> <br /> 43 <br /> <br /> 251-53 <br />
