A Calgary woman put in a request to have the tree in front of her home pruned and was surprised to come home and see nothing but a stump and pile of saw dust.
Last summer, Mandy Wong emailed the city to have a large green ash tree on the edge of her property pruned because the branches were dying.
Wong says the mature trees are one of the reasons she settled in the community of Killarney in the first place.
We live in this area because its a mature neighbourhood all the big trees here, said Wong.
Wong says the city never responded to her email, the pruning was never done and instead the whole tree was removed sometime this week.
I came home from work looked outside all I see is debris and dirt. Where is my tree? They took down my tree without telling me, said Wong. This is outrageous at first I thought who would do such a thing? I'm like is it the city, we were trying to put the pieces together.
On Tuesday, construction crews that were working next door saw a tree removal company stop by.
"They brought their big truck here and then they put up this thing with their chainsaws and started cutting everything down, said Paul Basra.
The city says contractors were sent out to do the job.

Construction crews are making major headway on the Washington School Districts new Early Learning Center.
Located on the Washington West Elementary campus off West Highway 100, the 25,000-square-foot center will open in August.
The center will combine three programs under one roof early childhood special education, Parents as Teachers and all of the in-town preschools.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Brendan Mahon said exterior brickwork should be completed by early next week, and metal siding has already been installed.
Two sides of the building are brick, with metal siding on the other sides.
We are totally under roof and 90 percent complete on the exterior all good news, Mahon told The Missourian Thursday.
We had hoped to get asphalt parking lots completed in November, but weather did not permit, he said. This will not impact the overall schedule. We simply moved it to the spring.
Mahon said crews are hard at work on the interior of the building.
Interior framing is complete, and the drywall in the classroom areas has been taped and sanded and will be finished next week, he reported.
Crews are just now beginning to lay the tile in the classroom restrooms, he noted.

The documentary "Tim's Vermeer" explores the work of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman filed the following report.
"Tim's Vermeer" is an exquisitely fun documentary that hits on a profound aesthetic question, one first posed in 2001 by David Hockney: Did the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer use optical devices to achieve his visual poetics of light? Tim Jenison, a San Antonio video engineer, goes obsessed with knowing the answer. And so, in Penn and Teller's sly magic act of a movie - Penn narrates it, and Teller directed - Jenison attempts to re-create Vermeer's 1662 masterpiece "The Music Lesson," even though hes no more of a trained artist than you or I.
By hand, Jenison builds almost every object in the painting - the floor tile, the carved harpsichord. And that's before he gets to the Herculean task of using a homemade camera obscura and mirror to fill in what is basically the ultimate paint-by-numbers diagram. How insanely meticulous is the work? Jenison paints the stitching of the tablecloth. And damned if, by the end of the film, he hasnt painted his very own extraordinarily authentic-looking Vermeer.
"Tims Vermeer" is a uniquely suspenseful and fascinating movie, but does it really prove the theory that Vermeer painted with optical devices? I think it comes close. Yet the real richness of the film is the question behind the question: If this, more or less, is how Vermeer created his paintings, does that render his art inferior to what we thought it was? Only if you believe that technology and art are somehow enemies. The proof, after all, is in the pudding, or maybe I should say the painting. In "Tims Vermeer," unmasking art history's greatest trick only adds to its mystery.

Documentary "Tim's Vermeer" explores work of Dutch painter
Havana Colorful, crumbling and controversial, Cuba is caught between then and now, between communism and capitalism and the challenge of two currencies.
Thanks to a loosening of travel restrictions for Cuban-Americans by President Obama, Cubans are beginning to get a taste of the benefits of free enterprise. All manner of merchandise has begun showing up in the country, including massive flat-screen TVs, bikes, clothes and microwaves.
It was the proverbial dark and stormy night when our charter plane finally touched down after an eight-hour delay in Miami. Once we were through customs, the glass doors slid open to reveal a crowd of people three deep waiting to greet family members pushing carts piled high with goods.
This welcome is all for you, joked in-country guide Vivian Quintero Triana. She assisted Joe Scarpaci of the Center for the Study of Cuban Culture and Economy as he led the group from the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
If you think cigars, rum and classic cars when you envision Cuba, you wont be disappointed. Even in the dark, cars from the 1950s and 60s were obvious in the parking lot just beyond the greeters.
There are so many still running that its like a vintage car show all the time. Weaving among them on the city roads are Soviet-era models, bicycle taxis and, in Old Havana, horses and buggies. Murals and billboards celebrating the 55-year-old revolution and its heroes add a surreal quality to the country, especially in combination with the old vehicles. Its like a movie is being filmed and you are an extra.
The impact of the U.S. trade embargo initiated in 1960 and the loss of Soviet support in the late 1980s have taken their toll. Buildings that would be declared uninhabitable in the United States are bursting at their disintegrating seams with inhabitants.
The two biggest issues facing Cubans are food and housing, said Scarpaci.
President Raul Castro, brother of Fidel, has introduced some reforms and the people are slowly shaking off the shackles of a 100 percent state-run economy. With state-issued permits, residents are allowed to operate businesses from their homes and buy and sell their own houses. You often see people holding homemade signs advertising for buyers or sellers.
Another reform is the permission to buy a car. A new Chinese-made car can cost up to $240,000, a ridiculous amount in any country. In Cuba, it would take the average person more than 1,000 years to pay it off, according to Scarpacis calculations. Those with beautifully restored relics offer rides around Havana and along the Malecon, the famous road and seawall built by the United States before the revolution.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A fire, and the sprinkler system that subsequently put it out,caused some damageto a Knoxville apartment complex unit.
According to the Knoxville Fire Department, crewsresponded to reports of a fire at a Summit Tower apartment unitaround 4:20 a.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters say they saw flames on the sixth floor from outside the building. Once they made it to the floor, crews say the hallway had become filled with smoke, but that the fire had been mostly extinguished by a sprinkler system.
Officials say no one was found inside the unit.
Firefighters say they began venting the smoke, stopping the water flow, and pushing the water that had made its way from the apartment floor to the complex's hallway.
A few apartments below the floor reported minimal water damage.
Officials say they were informed by the complex's manager that are searching for an empty apartment to temporarily lodge the displaced resident.
If none are available, the American Red Cross of Knoxville will assist with a place to stay.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
