The one contoured shade tree reminds me of the one that survived the lava fire in Hawaii. I feel like printing off the article and dropping it off at a former friend's place. He got a new gal and she affected his thinking. When I refused to lion tall his maple over his deck, and I mean badly, third round, I'd done a substantial canopy raise just two years prior, he hired a willing-to-do-it company and said to me afterwards "trees are meant to grow up not out" to which I replied "like those majestic one's they used in movies with the romantic scene of billy loves sue carved in the trunk, out in a field?"
The evil pitch fork guy on my shoulder kicked in and I added "you know you could also top it too?" Figured I might stir some thought in his brain.
