<DIV>I do not mean to throw a rock in this discussion, but don't you two
guys think your responses are a bit "male chauvinist?" If
the lady says the top of her tree is missing, while previously it was
just leaning, that strikes me as a clear indication someone removed
it. As to why someone would have done it, in my 63 years I have
seen a lot of complete idiots hacking up trees under the guise of
"pruning." I have even tried to explain to a few that pollarding
was invented centuries ago in Europe for the sole purpose of
peasants stealing firewood from the rich, landed, gentry. Some so
called arborist was contacting people in Hyattsville after the storm
telling them that their trees needed to be "topped." To the
best of my knowledge no one fell for the ploy. Do any of the bank
security cameras point towards the injured tree?<BR> </DIV>

Carol, I’d have to second Bruce’s response. The entire area received
record level snowfalls Feb 1-10. I’m guessing that if you were in the
hospital during this time, that is likely the culprit behind your poor
cypress tree’s unhappy beheading. A drive around the area also shows
that coniferous trees seem to have been hit particularly hard by the
snow – loads and loads are broken and in a similar state to yours.
Could this be your answer?</SPAN></P></DIV>

need some help. Sometime in the last 2 weeks (I have no exact
idea due to the fact I was in the hospital), the entire top of one of
my leland cyprus trees was cut off and removed. I live in the
house all by itself on 44th place (between Suntrust bank and the
Dental Group building). The tree in question was one of my big
ones along my fence line between Suntrust bank and me. I asked
Suntrust if their landscapers (Brickman) had done it, but OF COURSE
they knew nothing about it. I called the town just to make sure
they didn't do it, and they assured me that public works would never
cut a tree on private property. I am pretty sure that Suntrust's
landscapers did it because it was hanging over my fence after the
snowstorm, but they don't want to admit it due to the fact that what
they would have done would have been illegal.</SPAN></P></DIV>

the trees in that area in the last 2 weeks. If you did or know
someone that might have, please let me know. Those trees are the
only privacy I have between the businesses and my home and now one is
missing about 6 feet of tree. I can only hope it will grow
back.</SPAN></P></DIV>
