Believe it or not this tree came back time and again from this brutalizing. If you look just to the right of the tree you will see another one hacked the same way. It's a fruitless mulberry at the corner of N.Branciforte and Fairmount street. It's also a street tree and pruning of any kind is prohibited by ordinance. Each year the tree would get hacked back and each year I would talk to neighbors about it and inquire as to who did it. No one seemed to know. Last I looked the tree in the background finally disappeared. This is one of more egregious examples of a tree of shame.
Dedicated to exposing unacceptable arboricultural practices. Trees represent our legacy/history and deserve to be treated with respect. When you look at old photographs of the city you may notice the buildings disappear but the trees still stand. Protect them.
