    Interesting, thanks for that. So your second cut, once the saw is disinfected, be here where I've marked in red below which essentially removes that whole section and just leaves the main section on the left of the tree? That's what I was initially planning to do but wasn't sure.

    Whats Your Weather Like 2025

    The forecast was correct for today - cloudy and cold. Same deal tomorrow. And Thursday. I’m with you @pete - it’s a waste of the extra light as it’s so gloomy and miserable.
