I have called Downtoearth, that does the trimming. They said they would look into it. Explained as determining who will pay for it. I said it was no different than the bushes they trim when growing over the wall.
So now waiting to hear back from an "account manager".

Anybody have a similar experience?
I agree, if you want to trim some branches away from the ground, I really can’t see how that would hurt a thing. It won’t kill the tree! But I know TV, State or Fed. Govt. protect the Live Oaks. Interesting comment though!
