Pruning Help for Mature Kwanzan Cherry in Brooklyn

Brooklyn, New York.

Our kwanzan cherry tree in the backyard of a brownstone is flourishing…too much so.
It’s about 30 years old and 30’ high with a wide crown that encroaches upon the backyards of the neighbors.
There are several cross-branching limbs and just a few dead branches. We would like to thin it and reduce the canopy by about 20%.

Is there a best or worst time to do this?

The tree’s value to us and neighbors comes from its value interesting trunk structure and shading, less so with the short-lived flowers.

Is it time to remove the stakes?

This is a willow oak planted 6 weeks ago in a sunny backyard/open field in Central NJ. It’s about 10’ tall and DBH is 1.5”. The landscape company (supposedly reputable) put a small mulch volcano around trunk. I think I remedied that. I am happy to see that there is some new growth at end of a few of the branches.

Is it time to remove the stakes?

Any other suggestions?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

A mature (40+ years) Kwanzan about 30’ high with equal width in the back corner of a brownstone. Tenants and neighbors love it for its shading and spring flowers but don’t appreciate that it’s become so overgrown. Seems healthy, if not too healthy, but several cross limbs and waterspouts need removal. It could use a significant “haircut”. Any thoughts after looking at the attached pictures? Any thoughts as to how I can find a tree service company in Brooklyn? (Park Slope area)

Level of Difficulty in Switching from a Two Drain Kitchen Sink to a Single Drain

My wife won’t let me do this project myself which is probably a good idea. So, my plumber will do the job. The cutout and sink mfr will remain the same. Any thoughts on how long this will take by a master plumber and what kind of bill I am looking at here in NJ. We already purchased the replacement sink as he requested. Pictures are attached. Thanks!

AJ will turn 29 this month and will be starting his 7th NFL season

I loved watching AJ play and wished he had stayed. But, it was reported even before last year that, though he liked being an Eagle, he predicted he would never reach HOF numbers on an Eagles team, and the HOF is his ultimate goal. He knew that as an elite WR he was now in his plateau years and after this coming season his performance will begin to decline, if it hasn’t already.

Howie did good, real good.
