<P class=MsoNormal>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> <o:p></o:p></P></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><o:p></o:p></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><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

was hoping that maybe someone in the neighborhood saw someone cutting
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><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
