A licensed Arborist ...I can see both sides of this. A licensed Arborist will behead a tree if that is what the owner wants and is paying for. If they know they can be fined and a professional will, they should refuse the job. Once word gets out to the "Tree Professionals" hired by cheap home owners fewer (maybe)of them will be likely to butcher trees.<BR/><BR/>A lot of home owners are dumb and beheading trees is a common practice in a lot of places. To a lot of people that is how they think it is supposed to be done.<BR/><BR/>On a city owned street tree however I think the solicitor of butchery should be as culpable as the "Tree Professional" who did the actual deed.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps there needs to be a shared fine to spread the message to all involved.Christopher C.
