FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - A Fort Worth neighborhood wants answers after a man has been observed sneaking around late at night, trimming trees.
They're calling him Edward Scissorhands.
"I was talking to my wife, Emily and I was like 'hey we had a storm last night' and she was like 'oh no that's Edward Scissorhands..' and so I was like 'uh what?'" Jerry Balkenbush said.
"People in the neighborhood were talking about it and it seems like he was just hitting certain streets,"
Emily Balkenbush said.
Several of their neighbors have caught him on their home
surveillance videos, normally out around 3 a.m.
with a dog off leash.

people don’t realize how many people walk into branches. trimming to 7 ft from the ground should be a law.
I’ll bet it’s a sexual fetish.
Motive?
First it was ‘Tree hugging’....................
Arborist gone wild..................
Clearly an anti-thwackerist.
He’s out on a limb.
Can’t folks just leave other folks alone?
It looks similar to where my son lives in North Ft. Worth.
It probably is a law. But, most city councils are fixated on garbage like plastic bags and climate change.
Now, if the guy is an actual arborist, he knows what he is doing; maybe there ought to be a way to request service on an individual tree.
from the cuts i saw....he knew what he was doing.
I’ve done the same- neighbor’s brush grows out over sidewalk and makes it impossible to see to exit mother-in-law’s driveway. Haven’t been caught yet.
You just couldn't leaf that alone, could you?
So Ed should maybe make up business cards??
No I had to bark it out. But I’m stumped as to his motives.
There are probably some deep rooted emotions driving this behavior.
Good to see you branching out on your puns.
Edward Penishands. I am forever cursed with saying Edward Penishands when I see the name Edward Scissorhands, after seeing the old VHS box at the video store in the porn section. I shouldn’t need to describe the imagery.
