These Emerald green cedars were growing into the soffit and beginning to cause damage. Emerald cedars are often planted close to structures, they remain relatively small and have a pleasing pyramidal form. As with many trees planted near buildings, without regular maintenance they can become too large for their area and will require pruning. These Emerald cedars were pruned for height reduction using naturalized pruning techniques so that they are no longer interfering with the structure and retain the undulating appearance that gives them the natural form that many prefer.
