Thanks in advance for any advice and apologies for if this should be asked on another sub. A tree in my front yard county strip has a branch growing between two others. It’s at a point where it is getting tight between the two. Should I leave this be or trim one of the branches? Thanks!

Yes, remove at least one of the branches that is touching (make sure you cut at the branch collar!)
If they were to rub and graft together, then that would become a weak point and an opportunity for rot and decay for those branches
Trim at ground. Unwelcome Bradford pear.
Absolutely prune the crossing and rubbing branches. YouTube can teach you how to do it the right way or pay a pro to do it
