Yes, it's hard to tell that it's Bear Betty from the angle of the pic. lol I never really noticed the tree trimming before I went to research it, but now it's quite easy to tell which ones in the neighborhood have been done and which have not. It seems the bottom ones turn yellow, brown, and then eventually fall off themselves, but they do get a bit unsightly. It seems healthier for the trees to prune them up this time of year which also helps reduce the stress on them during the upcoming storm season.
