Had a homeowner in Portland ask me to 'prune for better feng shui' last fall
She followed me around the yard for two hours with a compass, insisting I leave a specific branch on her maple because it 'channeled good energy.' Has a client ever given you pruning instructions that made zero sense for the tree's health?

Some battles aren't worth fighting" is exactly right, and I used to be the opposite. I argued with a client for an hour about a perfectly healthy limb they wanted gone for "bad vibes." Now I just do what @shane_park92 said, as long as the tree is safe. The check clears either way.

That limb removal still feels wrong to me.

Honestly if the tree isn't gonna die from it, who cares. The client is paying and they're happy with their good energy branch. Some battles just aren't worth fighting, you know? As long as you're not doing clear harm to the plant, let people have their weird little rituals. Makes the job more interesting anyway.
