I guess this happens in every region of the country? Looks like a slow, painful death to me.

Is that ready to plant? Or is it going away?

[VoodooChile]

Just guessing, but I think the city was transplanting these into a pot for sale at Home Depot.

Voodoo I like yours better. What my picture doesn't show is the other 50 tree pruned the same way. The city's attempt at pollarding!

Oh my...

Looks like the "mad hacker" strikes again.


Someone needs to direct the guilty party to this place:

Stop topping trees

And to think...a "pro" did that to that poor tree. **shudder**

That is an AWESOME link! Thanks a lot for posting that. I am going to make it a print out that I give to my customers who have them or request this service. A lot of times, they just don't believe it understand how devastating it can be to a tree.

We just took over a condominium complex where the previous company that has been doing it for 10 years told them they were "pro's". They topped nearly every tree on the property and sent them a 13k bill and caused probably 150k+ in damage. We are talking many very large nice cherry trees, and oaks, etc. Blew our mind when we looked at it =(.

That is a great link isn't it!

Here is a link full of Dawgs from the same site along the same lines of tortured nature:

RottieMommy: You have my thanks as well for sharing this link. I would like to edit the material (and in writing proclaim myself as the editor), and share it with my customers in certain cases. I would think PlantAmnesty wouldn't mind, as long as we are working towards the same goal. Shall I ask permission from that organization?
