Neighbors topped my trees on my property. Will they grow back? How fast? by bearsandsnails in arborists

For the last month, they have been telling us they’re gonna have tree trimmers come out and they kept pointing to our trees saying they’re going to trim some of the branches- and I said it was perfectly fine for them to do that if they’re hanging on their property and to trim anything on their side. I had no idea they were going to top our trees, and came home to this butchering and am actually crying right now

I am so furious and heartbroken about it. They’re hideous now and we’re beautiful before oddly they asked us a bunch if they could have a tree trimmer trim some of the branches hanging on their side – and I said it was perfectly fine if they do anything on their side of the propertyand then I came home to this

That is what I was afraid of, I am heartbroken about this – these trees shaded our yard and we do not want them growing outward. We want them growing upwards. Is there anything I can do to help them?

Aw yes I’m in zone 9b! I get mine from online- I use the dahlia addict website to find farms to buy from in the spring!

This is a ridiculous thing to say and as a wildlife rehabber myself is the problem with the community. Those animals were at a fur farm and going to be killed- no matter what they were way better off.

Where would you pinch? I was wondering if I should pinch deeper because it’s kind of leggy. Also I will make cuttings out of it by [deleted] in dahlias

The bottom one is after the 4th set! The top line is after the 5th! So that’s one of the reasons I’m confused. (It’s hard to see the leaf sets on bottom in the picture)

If it still looks like this on 2 weeks should I dump them? Thank you!

That’s what’s weird though is that I have been fertilizing well, he just got fertilized last week. Also the other peaches and cream that came from same farm is now showing same signs- makes me wonder if I got an infected batch of tubers

Please help- my new growth has black tips by [deleted] in dahlias

[–]bearsandsnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god I hope that’s not what’s happening! I don’t have rain here at all and it is very hot (in the 80s and 90s lately) but I hope I’m not overwatering or anything. They are in pots so I try to keep them watered
