Stunned. A magnificent magnolia tree next door, made for climbing. I've loved it for 34 years. In one hour a man with a chain saw stripped off all its lower branches "so people can see the house."
Oh no!!! My next door neighbor is the kind who goes at everything with a chainsaw — and then he convinces the other neighbors of the “dangers” of having trees in their yards. There are hardly any trees on our block now. He’s a really nice guy other than this, but ... so sorry about yours!
