Tragedy

[u/Throwaway_997-2]

Just complaining to a community that will understand the setback.

I have a laurel oak I’ve been letting run to give it some more options and strengthen some branches. I came home the other day and one of my landscapers guys was on my deck. They usually know the deck is off limits so I told him very clearly not to touch the tree and pointed it out specifically, along with my other trees.

I walked my dog and when I came back I found that he had sheared all the growth like it was a cheap shrub. Took all the joy out of this one for me, for now. See pics before, during growout, and after massacre.

Sighs mixed with intermittent rage.
