The hackers went through this yard too, note the Liquid Amber died. So now the client has to pay twice and has a dead tree, real smart, that's what happens when you hire idiots.
Mature trees cant always take it, these are known to be hardy however it was a drought when this was done.
The tree was of good form prior. I drove past very regularly and never thought much of it, wish I had taken a before pic.
The other trees are stuffed too now, one is a melaleuca the other a buckinghamia ... again too bad, could have been pruned nicely to accomodate everything but now a topped abomination.
