Annoying branches?

Garden planted Sitka. (The Devil's Velcro). In the woods, no problem - off at the base. In a garden they become one long b@*tard of a fight and swearathon. My Silky gets wielded like a sword in battle. If it even looks like catching on my kit it faces the long plunge earthwards.

When doing a reduction, is it permissible to remove branches not because they are necessary for the reduction, but because they have annoyed you in some way? Poked you in the face, jabbed your knackers, snapped your harness elastic on your backside, got stuck in your Caritool etc.

 

Discuss.

 

YES for all of the above ........ except for the elastic on the backside.

(to each their own)

Agree to all this not only was I exhausted up a big old pine the bastard started on me whilst I was catching my breath... The whole get up under your visor syndrome to flick crud in your eye that can only be removed by taking off gloves whilst balancing on a precarious branch!!! Little spikey bits ready as well to snag a rope or trousers, laces anything really they all became possible pruning targets at that point!!!
