They cut that huge tree at Franklin elementary. There was not one thing wrong with that tree. Another one down the old cedar else they did not take care of the big one at the mission they never did anything to preserve it. A lot of squirrels and birds lost a home. Maybe it needed to be cut down who knows.
Below is a screenshot from Google Maps in 2018.
It’s a shame but I’ve noticed that in this area (we live in this area) there’s a great preference for concrete and city-supplied bark mulch.
Tress bring us shade, comfort, and air we thank them by killing them.
We thank all sorts of helpful things by killing them. It is the nature of humanity.
It looks as thought he concrete and parking lot are being affected by the tree, and if that is the case I bet the building behind the tree is also at risk of damage. Sometimes its not the trees “health” that require its removal. its mis planted, or mis planned trees that need to be removed. There are a lot of trees that were planted 50+ years ago because they “grew” fast, to provide cover. but the “fast” growing trees also invade EVERYTHING. and are not best for close to properties and foundations.
Good to know there is a good excuse for killing things.
