I live in an apartment complex and it has two very large pine trees. I am puzzled because the tops of both trees are cut off. They are not located around electrical lines or close to any buildings. Got any ideas why this would be??

It's called "Topping" and although it is very unattractive for a while it will result in a fuller nicer looking tree. It is just a type of pruning for a tree.

Someone wanted them for a Christmas tree?

My assumption would be if they were too tall it's possible it could lean so far over from the weight of the tree and could break off. That's just my guess.

I don't know but I don't think a licensed arborist did it- you should never top off trees like that-
