Saturday, 7:30 AM. 40 degrees, wind W, light. The sky is overcast and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies. It is a cold dark morning.
I have had issues with utility company tree “pruning” for years. Basically, there is no respect shown to trees as elements of either beauty or environmental utility. If a tree is in the way of overhead lines it is just hacked, topped, whatever. Of course the most relevant answer to the problem is either to bury the lines (too expensive say the utilities, although they often do it in new subdivisions) or replace tall trees with varieties that do not grow into the overhead lines. Utilities sometimes offer grants to do the latter, but they are few and far between. In the meantime we live with ugly and disease prone, butchered trees.
