I have a tall holly tree approx 30ft tall, that had been in the past
pruned to form a nice A shape.

Its got a bit leggy in places.

Advice please on the best method of pruning it ??? and best time of
year to prune. As its covered in berries now.

ie scaffold tower, long extension pruners, cherry picker etc etc

You mean e.g. - not i.e.


'PLONK'(ER)

Pedant perhaps, but what's plonkish about using Latin initialisation
correctly?


There is nothing wrong with using "i.e." and "e.g." correctly, at all.
What will get people worked up is correcting the grammar or spelling or
punctuation in posts from other people.
It makes you sound like a grumpy schoolteacher. Usenet is just a loud silly
place full of all kinds of everything;
some of it occasionally correctly spelled and grammatically correct.
Usually, however, anything goes.
