And here is one I did. Originally, I left the branch because I didn't think it would be in the way. I had to take it out when it was larger than it should have been. I did a good job of leaving the branch collar in tact, so it is healing nicely. The problem is that this is a Hackberry, and they are very prone to rot from pruning injuries. So this may still come back to haunt me.
