Topping your Trees

Dear Neighbor,

It is not my practice to tell people how to live, and please don't take this to be that. Nonetheless . . .

I can't help but notice that many of the beautiful hardwood trees throughout the Meadowood Park neighborhood have been "topped." For those who don't already know, "topping" a tree is exactly what you think it is: cutting the top off of your tree.
Found on Google images . . . could be any "topped" tree

Please stop.

It is not good for the tree.

It turns something beautiful into something ugly.

There are no fewer than a billion other reasons to not top your trees, but those two should suffice. For more information, please see here.
