Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

hiring someone with an understanding of tree biology would be my
recommendation.

Is there any chance that you could actually offer something to the OP
instead
of providing pre-perpared generic advice or suggesting they get a
consultant
to advise them on this simple question. People ask these questions
because
they want to do the right thing and to develop their own knowledge. You
seem
to be more interested in drumming up business for your collegues.

In some cases the job is too big for the amateur or too complex to deal
with
remotely. Now tell me why this case is like that. The choice is cut the
top
or don't. Do you have an opinion or would you need to withdraw, convene
and
consult? Or does your mouth not open until the wallet does.
