Still can't see it without joining.
I feel sure it is a cryptomeria, and will shoot out. In fact it is
often pruned into "cloud" shapes in Japanese gardens.
Perhaps that's what they are planning to do!

hope i've done this right

Wow, they sure made a mess of that. How high is it/was it?

Not a pine. Not sure I agree with Pam though about it being a
cryptomeria - if it was it would probably survive for the owner to
mutilate it again. No tree surgeon I've ever worked with would do
anything like this, in fact they'd probably pull the culprit
apart.................very slo................................wly.

Somehow it does not look like a professional job. I would like to post
a photo i took of it, but am assuming its not allowed to post it here in
this group. Where could i post it for people to look at and comment on
please?

A neighbour has had the same done to some of his. I agree with you, they
would look better cut down completely, they will never grow another top and
will always look ... truncated.

There's an even better one near here. Somebody's done just the same
kind of job on a Monkey Puzzle that was already dead - obviously
somebody who knows how to climb and work up a tree - some cowboys do
seem to know that much at least.

Well, it will probably SURVIVE, anyway. It is an outrageous mess,
and will regrow into a shapeless blob, but I don't know how you CAN
prune a conifer back that hard at all cleanly. Have you any ideas?

The centre of the picture shows what look very much like cypress
cones, and the leaf growth pattern fits, so my guess is that it may
be a cypress of sorts. But I am no conifer expert.

Nick Maclaren.
