A heavily pruned plane tree in the park of “Villa Maria”. Hat-racking is the severe act of pruning a tree by reducing the length of branches, lowering the tree height, stubbing or removing foliage so that the tree resembles a hat or coat rack. It seems that this should not be an acceptable pruning practice.

The same is in Poland, such pruning practice makes me angry.
There's a Greek song, which refers to people, using such branches as a metaphor.
A splendid contrast with the deep blue sky!
They prune crepe myrtle trees here like that here. We let ours grow as big as they like.
Soon it will be full again.
Perhaps too much, but to me it looks arty and nice.
I hope it will grow back to normal again.
I never knew this name. "Hat-racking" is appropriate.
By whatever name or none, the practice of it is always painful to see at first.
It does seem harsh VP, but trees are so hardy, before long it will be green again.
I have seen similar and much worse pruning practices in my area.
This one looks like a broom! :-)
