My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Brazil Pepper Tree Pruning?

14 years ago

I live in California, I have a Brazil pepper tree in the backyard. We have avoided trimming this tree several time due to the Sap.

When is the best time and way to trim this tree to avoid the sap explosion?

Thanks!
