Hello Dan, Stere & Steven, Thanks for the fast reply. To the left of the trees is a flat roof so was thinking of using my old pole chainsaw. I think It has a 7 feet reach and not much around it so any chance of damage should be low. As for the flat roof part it is the same height as the red line and is about 12-15 feet high. Once I decide to reduce their height I will keep removing any shoots that come out the top. Still not sure if I will do it, but really need them shorter than they are. Thanks Dune

Hey guys, Thanks for the fast replies to my post, I really appreciate it. First response to Peasgood: Thanks for all the info and advice as it makes choice easier. 2nd response to Mark: There are several reasons why I don't want to remove them and plant new trees. One reason is cost as I dont have $$$ to spare to buy new trees or bushes. Other reason is I like those trees as they are good for privacy and where I live many homes have same trees thou shorter. That makes it look nicer and makes home not stand out from others. And it would take a long time for new trees or bushes to have same privacy the current ones do. Thanks to all of you for the help and info. Dune

Hello, I have a weird tree question. Can a tree be cut down by more than half and still survive? The 2 trees shown are to tall and I want to cut the tops off them. I want to cut them at the red line so everything above them will be removed. I just dont want to kill the trees which is why I am asking. Thanks in advance Dune
