I'm just home for some lunch and to change trucks. I 'pruned' a massacred Maple this morning. I was muttering and grumbling to myself while the neighbor was watching and taking pics. Finally I could stand it no more and blurted out, "Whoever hacked this tree shouldn't ever be allowed to handle a chainsaw again". Turns out from the neighbor it was another company that did the work, worst hackjob I've ever seen in my life, bizarre bypass cuts in the face cuts of huge limbs they took off and just left the torn stubs on the tree, all of the interior stripped right out, limbs left that were sawn halfway through, indiscriminate topping/reduction cuts everywhere. The tree was f-cked over, I told the customer you can't polish a turd and tried to just clean it up and told them to leave it alone for about 10 years to see what happens. Furious that someone out there could be so stupid as to have done this to a tree.
