Hello - we recently rented a house in San Diego. We are recent transplants from Seattle and missed the trees and greenery the the NW terribly. Finally, we found an urban home with a big willow tree in the back that blocked out the neighbors, the alley and street behind and the sun!
Unfortunately, we drove by today (we move in in 10 days) and found the beautiful thick willow tree (the selling point for us) completey butchered. We knew it was supposed to be "triimed", but this is ridiculous. I have been reading that willows grow back fast, but how fast? Are we talking months? We are heading into the hot season here, will that hinder or help the situation. We are devistated, our privacy and shade are gone. How long before we can stop crying and have it back?
See before and after.
Thank you.
