I agree, their treatment was not good. The young pin oaks, which did not need to be trimmed at all, took a particular beating. However, the bradford pear in front of our house was desperately in need of having its bottom branch removed before it fell off and onto someone, so grateful to see that one trimmed. I sadly can't imagine that proper training is high on the budgeted priority list- not an excuse, just a sad reality.

Was anyone else bothered by the butchering of trees on their block in CV. Yesterday, three city employees were hacking at the tree in the well in front of my house. These people obviously knew/know nothing about tree pruning. After finishing with that one-and removing major limbs-they went to the next and took off every branch except those at the very top. The tree looks comical now, like something out of Dr. Seuss with a top knot. They kept on up the block and across the street. Peter, are these people given any instruction on how to prune a tree? And I don't think December is the time of year to prune.
