Monkey puzzle tree

Brockagh · 2014-04-21 15:01:32

I have a monkey puzzle tree in the front garden, maybe 30 to 40 ft tall. It's branches are mostly healthy, but there are random ones dying on the tree too. I've cut the easiest ones off, but some are a bit too high for me to get at. What should I do with these? Is it okay to leave the dead branches? Do I need a tree…

What should I do with these? Is it okay to leave the dead branches? Do I need a tree surgeon or an arborist? Are these expensive?

If it is simply dead branch removal the ring around your local tree surgeons and ask for a quote. The dead branches could be left if the do not cause a hazard but your tree would look aesthetically better with them removed imo.
