Yep. I have watched trees grow. In fact, I can point out some oaks and maples that I carved my initials into back in the 1950's. I have never seen limbs shed deliberately by a tree though. It makes a nice story, but I am afraid that I have never seen it and am unaware of any tree whose geometry is such that each and every limb isn't positioned to maximum efficiency.
Maybe you could provide some botanical texts on this subject.
