Pleasantly Surprised.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the way our giant fig tree has been lopped by the local power authority. They strategically lopped specific limbs in such a way that the overall shape of the tree has been kept pretty well. On lopping day they did tell me that they couldn't get their cherrypicker to where they wanted on the other side of the fence to lop the outer limbs, as ground was too wet after rain. Maybe they'll be back, but for now it's looking good.

Here is the after pic. The red brackets showing one of the lopped limbs.
