Tuesday, April 26th, 2011Reverse Pwnage: Turns Out That Some of Those Chinese Elm Trees in the Western Addition Got Executed Anyway
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011First it was all like this, then it was all like this (but that was a false alarm), then, just recently, it was all like this.
But then, T2, Judgement Day, Rise of the Tree Chipper Machines.
That was yesterday on McAllister. See?

It was just like the end of that Fargo movie, except with trees.
At the end of the day, some of the 14 trees on death row were spared, some, like these, were not:
Maybe the unhealthy trees were destroyed and the healthy ones were left alone?
That’s one theory, anyway.
Courage.
A Day in the Life of McAllister: #3, Entire Block of Ulmus Parvifolia Trees Outlive Their Death Notices, Posted Back in 2010
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Remember last year, when these “13 or 14″ Ulmus parvifolia got death notices wrapped around their trunks?

Now, I’m not a big fan of trees in the City personally, as they cause a lot of trouble and, occasionally, kill people. But Trees First, People Second is the Law of the Land, so once a tree goes in, it can never ever ever come out, regardless of the circumstances. Oh well.

All the deets:
The response from one resident? “Fuck that.” Actually, that phrase got repeated several times until this closing line: “I know an arborist.” Well, I guess if you want to fight a tree removal, that’s the first person you’d want to talk with.
But I think the Bureau of Urban Forestry already has its mind set on chopping these trees down by the end of summer and entmoots can take months to set up…
Oh well.
There is unrest in the NoPA/ There is trouble with the trees…
