This tree got me wondering. What is the story behind this ode to pruning?
Perhaps the previous resident was a minimalist. Unsatisfied with the frills and lavishness of leaves, pursuing simplicity?
Or is this the calling card of the Sandringham Road (not Epsom Road) peacock? - I will pillage your possessions as I have robbed this tree of all it held dear!
Is it some sort of navigation beacon, or a asherah pole of the lesser known lower-Vincent-Illuminati?
A domestic dispute? "Im cutting the tree down!", "No you're not!", "Fine, Ill just prune it then..."
The result of a GroupOn 'Tree felling voucher"?
