The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

I've never heard of anyone pruning a walnut tree. Why does it need it?

I did it for a tree growing on the lawn that my wife wants to sit
under not in - i.e. I removed all low branches. They can outgrow
the space they are allotted or get out of shape just as much as
any other tree can.

Well, yes. A walnut tree will grow larger than a oak - well, higher and
wider anyway.
