A lady I know found a very nice well established tree in a nursery, it was about six foot tall with nice thick trunk, and some very well placed lower branches, her intention was to chop the tree back to the lower branches, being very pleased at the potential of the tree she purchased it but being unable to put such a large tree in her car she asked to have it delivered.
Waiting at home in anticipation the tree finally arrived via a delivery company, the tree was lifted out of the back of the truck and placed on the ground and lo and behold all the good lower branches had dissapeared, on enquiring as to where the branches had gone the delivery man replied "oh we had to cut them off so as we could fit it in the truck"
