Funny, I always refer to Vancouver as our pretty and cultureless/souless stepsister.

You're obviously from Seattle, and I think you hit the nail on the head. !!

Robson Square hedges have had a little adjustment. I was walking by on Monday (Nov.2) and was pleasantly surprised to see them at about one third the size that you see in this photo. Good job mr.x!

Should have brought your orange vest and a hard hat. Nobody would have questioned it.

In fact, they are probably letting them grow right now to achieve a certain density. I have a hunch they will be trimmed right back into low, sculpted, square "hedges," the type one sees in formal gardens. These will simply put a "defining ring" around the glass skylights. I don't think they're designed to cut off the view and the sunlight.

(at least ... I don't think they are.... are they? ..... er, I hope I'm not wrong..... but then I could be, couldn't I .....ummmmm)

In that case, if I check those hedges this weekend and see them the same height, or even taller than they were before...

then I've got a lot of pruning to do.

mr.x · #**355** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 1:30 AM**

Who's for salting the earth so that everything dies and nothing ever grows?

metroXpress · #**356** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 1:32 AM**

^ Ha, and what should we have instead?

nova9 · #**357** Posted **Nov 4, 2009, 3:15 AM**

Some photographic evidence. Taken by me (by iphone via twitter...sorry about the size, hehe)

Too funny. I doubt that the purported 'cropping' was performed by a City of Vancouver arborist. BTW, has this pic been photo-shopped or is it the real McCoy?

Real, it's from my iphone but the size is because it's a twitpic.
