A Charlotte church has been fined $4,000 dollars for excessively trimming its crape myrtles trees. The Charlotte Observer reported the city's (three) decades-old tree ordinance prohibits removing or excessively trimming trees on commercial property or streets. (It does not include private residences). The city fined Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church $100 dollars for every branch…cut excessively. The church can either pay the fine or replace the trees that weren't trimmed properly. Church member Eddie Sales said he trimmed the crape myrtles because he didn't want the branches hanging in the way of walkways and other areas.
