Thinking of Topping Trees?

PlantAmnesty is a non-profit organization based out of Seattle whose mission is “to end the senseless torture and mutilation of trees and shrubs.” They attribute the success of getting out their message to “outspoken style, combining humor and controversy around a subject as dull as landscape maintenance.”

The web site offers blunt and honest pruning and plant care advice, such as “seven solutions to the too-big rhododendron” and “five reasons to stop topping trees”.
