Crimes Against Horticulture

One of my favorite gardening sites is Billy Goodnick's Crimes Against Horticulture: When Bad Taste Meets Power Tools page on Facebook, where Billy highlights some of the amazingly bad decisions people make in their gardens.  I think my favorite is photo of what appears to be an otherwise blameless Italian Cypress pruned into an unfortunate shape that looks like stacked up wineglasses.  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=651314434904092&set=pb.183426311692909.-2207520000.1395618579.&type=3&theater

We were fortunate yesterday to be able to attend one of Billy's lectures during the San Diego Master Gardeners Spring seminar, and it was as entertaining as it was informative.

And I won a roll of Billy's yellow Horticultural Crime Scene tape, so watch out, neighbors.  Next time you prune those trees inappropriately, you're getting taped!
