Cypress will typically try to generate a new leader if something happens to the main one. Usually this will be one of the upper 2-3 small limbs. There will probably be more than one leader emerge. Have never seen this happen 1/2 way down a tree, so perhaps someone else can chime in. Sorry for your loss.

Pictures help. Also, why were they mistakenly cut?

SCOUTJE - Yes, the *YOUNGER* trees, I'm not too worried about. It's the tree with the 3 -4 inch diameter trunk that I'm concerned about. I can't picture a new leader (although I hope I'm wrong)

FAMARTIN - Before and After pictures.

I had to be at work and before I left home I gave specific instructions. The person SCREWED UP.

Wow :(

^ WOW x 2. That is terrible. Was just sitting here looking at the pictures with my mouth open. I'd be on a killing spree to the idiot.

I hope you weren't paying that person. If you were, they shouldn't get any money for that.

Didn't the tree trimmer understand these were PRIVACY trees?

It's obvious to anyone what the purpose of those trees is.
Was there a language barrier?

Let us pray...please don't let the wielder of the pruning tools be a family member. Amen.
