Trees Were Topped - Need Advice

[Bruce Haring]

Hello:

A beautiful grove of eucalyptus trees that lined my property were savagely attacked over the weekend. My neighbor had the entire canopy removed and cut many wounds.

The trees were along a line near my property line, but I'm not sure who they belonged to. I'm trying to find an arborist to attest to the tree damages and a surveyor. I'm in the Los Angeles area. Any help or advice is appreciated. My wife and I are heartsick at having these trees destroyed by an unthinking neighbor.

Thanks for your response. Our trees were also pruned back to nubbins and most of the branches were hacked off, leaving nothing but the nubs of branches. I will be absolutely amazed if the trees can ever resemble what they used to....but I'm encouraged by your comments. Appreciate it.
