I managed to trim off a couple low branches of the Sugar Tyme crabapple this winter. Now there is one more branch needing removal.
It's easier to see with the background removed.
I'll leave it for this season, and take it off next winter. This small tree needs all the greenery it has to keep growing. Although the odd weather this spring kept it from blooming (the leaves all came out too soon), it is really shooting up.
I just need to prune it well while still young to keep it more upright shaped and to clear space under the branches to walk below it.
