I have just picked up an awesome property...because...the caretaker didn't like all the topping that was being done by the landscrapers!
I have to admit though, trying to fix previously topped trees can be a pain in the ass. I spent hours in the bucket truck with nothing more than a silky saw (spindly 'white cedars' Tabebuia) and its going to take a few seasons to get any kind of structure restored. Luckily they are ornamentals, no targets below, worth the attempt at restoration.
Also after the hurricane, the repair jobs on topped trees is a pain, they only failed because of all the consequenses from the topping...plain as the nose on your face.
Now, Casuarinas...they can be cut WAY back...but you can tell the difference between mine and the hackers!
