Keeping It Simple: What Does Your Home's "Curb Appeal" Say
I still remember driving up to our old farmhouse back in 1996. It was a rainy stormy night and the home was vacant. We moved through the mud and dark, peering in old windows, and ventured around overgrown bushes.
For many, this is not the most appealing way to view a perspective new residence. While we enjoyed the adventure... many prospective homeowners would run away from such a sight!

Scary out of control cherry tree.
Nicely trimmed cherry tree gives a neat appearance to the rest of the landscape.

Not a fan on the way the weeping cherry was pruned. It doesn't look like something found in nature. Next time, trim every other branch. It will look far more natural.

Lisa thank you for your feedback. The owner was has been very happy with the way it was pruned. But I will be pruning it again next week and will take a closer look to see if it is possible. It was neglected for many years before I pruned it two years ago. Very very densely intertwined.
