Agree to disagree! The ones in my neighborhood are all well over 17 years old and do fine after each and every trimming. The only one that is a problem is the sole one that hasn’t been done in years! It is now too tall to trim without a ladder/truck and is actually growing into my neighbor’s house. I have two and trim them after all of the leaves have fallen. If I let them get too tall, I will lose all sight of my street while losing the low foliage that provides porch privacy. Your “crepe murder” comment is misguided at best.
