This was how it looked last winter:

I trust that you have an arborist that you trust. Our association had substantial work done, and a couple of years later switched to a company that is well known locally and has an excellent reputation. One of their first questions was, "Who butchered your trees?"

We are working with a reputable arborist. The issue is that there was some disease affecting part of the tree, so that was one of the reasons it got trimmed rather severely. Hope it's all for the better, but we won't have much green on the eye level the way we used to.

An Arborist ?,, you are obviously more knowledgeable than I, Sarah;,, I get a ladder and a hatchet and start hacking !... :-)
Seriously though - I'm sure you do right ... Cheers from > Dj.
Btw. lovely colour on the properties.

You wouldn't want to climb up that tree -- I watched the arborist do it, and its seriously dangerous work, even though he is secured by a safety line.
Yes, I like the colors too. Makes for good shadows ;-)

Two lovely images, and I am sure the tree will benefit Sarah
those that suffer are generally the untreated
