Thanks guys. I am going to prune it out this weekend. Our first frost is not
expected for another three months, or more, so I am safe if new growth develops.
Here, most trees and turf go dormant at this time of year. It's not a true
dormancy, but nothing grows till the rains return next month.

I'm on my way out into the heat!

Prune now, pay attention to pruning just outside the branch collar.
Monitor the pruned area and don't let any suckers develop -rub them
off with your thumb.
If you are removing a large limb reduce the weight on the limb before
making your final cuts so as not to tear the bark.
