Wah Ari. The moment I saw the word STOP, I had to slam on my brakes with ABS, EBD and all! Just joking. Trimming was only planned for this weekend. But I did trim some leaves with some black deposits (must be left over bba). Cut near the base as you described.

I must say, you took extra effort to illustrate your methods just like an instruction manual ha ha ha. Thanks friend.
