      The person you’re replying to is wrong. The city hasn’t given a permit to trim the trees for the past 3 years, and the way it was cut is harmful to the tree (25% of canopy is the maximum that should be removed at any time).

        I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were a licensed tree surgeon. So, how many years experience do you have?

          Is this supposed to distract from the fact the company broke the law to try to break a strike and likely harmed the long term health of the cut trees? Is there some reason you don’t want us to stay on that topic?

            What law?

            Those trees will leaf back out and be completely fine.

            My point is y’all don’t know shit about trees and have knee jerk reactions which make the movement look bad.

            You all are “derkaderka dey cut da trees!” like it’s the end of the world, and it’s literally fucking nothing. And y’all over here, which thankfully no one knows about, playing arm chair tree surgeon/botanist/biologist claiming the sky is falling.

            Calm the fuck down.

              The trees are city property. You can’t just cut city trees because you feel like it. The city has already fined them and the penalties will only increase if the trees don’t recover.

              If you know something the Forestry Service doesn’t you should get in touch with them. They outline pretty clearly that what is pictured is bad for the trees, and it’s a bad time of year to do it because it makes the trees more susceptible to disease. This isn’t an opinion, it’s in the government handbook.

              Go have whatever argument you’re dying to have with someone else.

              Cap. Anyone who does any landscaping would know this. In 100+ degree weather, you don’t trim trees back if they are healthy. This is a clown take.
