Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?
I find this moderately enraging
Maybe they should scan for unmarked graves, too...
I also expected something far worse than a mutilated tree when I read „catholic…“
Everyone except the tree
Won’t most of the tree grow back after construction finishes? I’ve seen trees severely cut back and after a couple years it’s almost impossible to tell.
It's a silver beach. They are usually planted in front of grand estates and after 100 years, they have a huge crown and massive trunk. There's no way this is coming back.
That depends on tree species and damage.
Willow tree would probably survive that without a problem, most other trees won't. Some could be saved with appropriate protective measures, like trimming the roots.
It will take literally decades to grow back to its old glory.
Besides, given how poorly the construction workers treated the tree so far, I guess they won't act gently in the soil and probably damage roots or compress the ground too much.
Flip, I've been cutting down a willow in my front yard annually. Each year it seems to grow back about twice as fast. I enjoy our little game.
There's currently a similar fight to save a massive, old red cedar in Seattle. I haven't been part of the protests, but I hope the protesters win (not holding my breath about it). There's no reason the tree can't be developed around other than developers' greed.
All I see is a happy tree waving at me
This tree is trying to hail a taxi.
Driven by a one armed man.
That killed the tree’s wife.
Which maybe why they bothered to keep it at all. Waving for attention.
It’s a very thankful tree. It was strapped into the electric chair and the governor called at the last moment.
Map of my life basically.
I’m doing pretty good in terms of resolving old trauma, and I’ve got a little financial stability finally, but social and love life are nil.
Just wait till you see the classy McHome that's gonna got there.
It's gonna hurt me
