Every two to three years, Eddie Sales trims and prunes the crape myrtles at his church, Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church.
But this year, the city of Charlotte cited the church for improperly pruning its trees.
"We always keep our trees trimmed back because you don't want to worry about them hanging down in the way," said Sales, a church member.
The church was fined $100 per branch cut for excessive pruning, bringing the violation to $4,000.
"I just couldn't believe it when I heard about it," Sales said. "We trim our trees back every three years all over our property, and this is the first time we have been fined."

Glad someone got that bit of nerd humor. A Pole, appropriately enough, if your screen name is any indication.
3rd-gen Polish-American on my paternal grandfather’s side. My parents were fond of calling us “Heinz 57” because of the multiple heritages in the family tree (of course, that was before Teresa sullied her dead husband’s name).
I’m sure it does!
