Avenue Species Change

[skyhuck]

Couple of weeks ago a large Aesculus fell over a main road - bit unpredictable as the trees have only just started to show signs of problems this year.

 

A week later 6 more mature trees have all been felled ...I guess it is the unpredictablility that is scaring authorities into action.

 

No doubt some magnificent Rowans will replace these mature beauties.

 

Most city dwellers don't really like trees but they do subconciously find comfort in seeing greeness around them - they just don't care about the detail.

 

 

Very true! if you ask the average urbanite if they like trees they will usually come out with the all to often heard "I like trees.................................BUT"

followed by the reason these trees need to go,it is I feel a form of NIMBYism.And very sad.
