since we had that freeze, I have 2 trees that all the leaves died. Sorry I don't know what kind they are but I was wondering if I should leave the tree alone or cut off basically the whole top and around it to reshape. Is there a chance that I will kill the trees ?  They hang over my pool and in between my house the my neighbors.  The leaves dropping in my pool is overwhelming and there are a lot left in the tree.
Any advice you could give would be apprectiated....thank you,  ED
