Saw a 200 year old oak in Savannah last month and it changed how I prune young trees
The way that tree had grown around old wounds, leaving deadwood that became habitat, made me rethink how much I take off in a single cut. I used to clean up every stub on a young maple, now I leave a few inches and let the tree seal it on its own time. Anyone else changed their pruning after seeing an old monster tree?

Man, that hits home. I've been trying to do the same thing with everything lately, like letting stuff be a little messy instead of fixing every tiny thing right away. Nature's been doing it right for way longer than us.
