Default [IBC] Do you work Up or down a tree?

Question for discussion.

When you prune a tree do you start with the lowest branch or at the apex?

Why?

I start with the lowest branch. I don't know why. Maybe it is easier for me
because I am short. Maybe I can see the trunk line that way. The clippings
tend to fall down to the already pruned area so I usually don't trim something
already cut.

When you wire a tree do you start with the lowest branch or at the apex?

Why?

I again start with the lowest branch. I don't know why.
