Fantastic that this tree will be trimmed... could we perhaps get it done before next week in case Hurricane Sandy impacts our area? Taking out weak trees now would reduce damage and lessen clean up needs. http://www.boston.com/news/weather/weather_wisdom/2012/10/hurricane_sandy_a_category_2_e.html

Agreed...seems this storm could be "the worst in a century" -- trimming this tree now could lessen the damage it might do to nearby cars and houses, and make less work for the post-storm clean-up crews.
