trimmed pine tree fiasco
a neighbour has just had a pine tree pruned and it looks really ugly to me
with the topped lopped off. 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? |

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! Pam in Bristol |

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. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
