Had a client's neighbor in Cincinnati tell me I was 'killing the tree' by pruning deadwood from their oak

Yeah, I read an article about this. Some people think any cut hurts the tree, but removing dead branches is like basic first aid. It stops diseases from spreading and keeps heavy dead limbs from falling on someone's house. That neighbor probably just doesn't know how tree care actually works.

But what about cutting live branches?

Guess they'd rather let the dead branch fall through their roof. Hernandez.brooke has it right, it's just basic tree first aid. Some folks just enjoy being wrong with confidence.
