We have a beautiful Staghorn tree in a corner of our garden which is close to a public footpath. It appears to be very happy there. However, the tree is 4 yrs old now and has grown quite a bit, and is growing some low branches which are jutting out in the way of pedestrians using the footpath. Can we prune this without any risk to the wellbeing of the tree and if so, when is the best time to do it? Also is it something we can do ourselves or should we get a professional?
