I have a three year old hackberry tree. Branches keep breaking seemingly from their own weight. Is there a specific way I should prune it,

Hennepin County Minnesota

Hi George,

Your tree has some serious structural issues. The best thing to do would be to consult a certified arborist who can visit in person and make recommendations.
