Spruce tree’s top cut off in Bountiful neighborhood causing extensive damage

By Becky Ginos

BOUNTIFUL—Christmastime brings joy, love and thoughts of helping others so when a couple in a Bountiful neighborhood came home to find that eight feet had been cut off of the top of a 15 foot spruce tree on private property it was quite a shock. This isn’t the first time for the same neighborhood either. A similar thing happened a few years ago.
