  2. I gave up on trying my hardest to educate the ignorant years ago, these days I explain what the best thing to do with there trees is, If they still look all vague and not convinced I tell them, if you want me to top em i'll do it its up to you, at the same time I give them a silly price! I read about a bloke who tried to educate the divs for years, near on 50 years, his name was Alex Shigo, hes in his box and trees are still being topped all over the world daily, we will never change human nature!
