    Well if this is actually recent, then it is definitely intentional. Trees are usually trimmed in early spring, cutting them back that much in the middle of summer puts a lot of stress on the trees and risks killing them.

      (if memory serves) According to a podcast I listened to yesterday, they don’t own the trees. They’re public property trees. Trimming was not scheduled.

        Yep. I heard they’re actually being fined, sadly only for $250 because old city laws limit how much they can be fined.

        If any of these trees dies, I hope Universal is on the hook for replacing it.

          Considering the first fine, I fully expect the second one to be a grand total of tree fiddy

      Yeah I saw this and while I’m not a tree management expert I’m like “they basically left no leaves on these poor things”. With the insane heat we’ve been seeing, this can’t be good.
